So far, all signs indicate no headgasket issue, but I dont know what else to think. The oil leak is coming from the bottom of the block, right above where the lower radiator hose connects to the thermostat housing. There is no indication of oil coming from higher up the block.

The oil has to be seaping through the headgasket doesnt it?

Im about ready to drive it back to Fullblown and have them try and diagnose it.
There are many places the oil can be leaking from. The head gasket is the very least likely. If you blew a head gasket there would be more than oil leaking out.
