I've had the leak for a while. Managed to pull the plate off last weekend. I don't have any pics, but it appeared that the oil was leaking thru the area of the gasket separating the two halfs of the hole. (admittedly it could look like that since there was obviously a bit of oil in the area when I pulled the plate and it simply ran down it)
Scraped off what I could with a razor, very lightly roughed up the affected area with fine sandpaper, clean thoroghly, liberally gooped it up with some RTV I had and sealed it. Car is still in storage so I haven't run it to check if it worked. *fingers crossed*
