Chrisz,

Have you checked if it could be the countershaft seal, the clutch push rod seal, or the oil filter housing not properly seated?  Any of these could drip oil onto the exhaust.  You could also have a leaky clutch slave cylinder.

Cheers,
Arnie

I degreased it and washed it down.....went out today around the block, got home and saw the leak..........theres a little bit of gasket hanging out the side of the pan.......so luckily the leak is right there and not hidden.
