Tortuga,
I have calibrated the dipstick according to Avaid's procedure - put 9 qrts in from empty - mark dipstick 'Full' - start engine and run until primed, then stop & allow oil in pan to settle - Mark dipstick 'Low' - top up with oil to the full mark. It might be worth reducing oil volume to 8 qrts and see if the leak diminishes?

General question for everyone: Do you run 8 or 9 qrts with an FE Avaid pan?
Does consider the oil in the lines for a remote oil filter? 8 quarts seems low.
