Don't forget a bellhousing that needs offset dowel pins. If you didn't check the centerline of the bellhousing opening relative to the crankshaft (most people don't) the tranny's input shaft can put a preload on the rear main seal causing it to collapse a little on one side and relax on the other side(where oil will come out) Sounds unlikely but I have fixed rear main seal leaks (that were not fixed by merely replacing the seal) by correcting the bellhousing offset. But check the galley and cam plugs on the back of the motor.
