I would guess its either coming from the crossover tube bolt or from the oil cooler if you have one.

The crossover can be removed without taking the heads or intake off.....of coarse it will be a PITA due to its location.

The tube is bolted on with a banjo bolt and 2 seal washers on each head so if you take it off youll need 4 of the washers.
