I'm beginning to suspect that there's a very small leak at the back of the engine (pusher) near the flywheel. There's a small pool in the open part of the housing below the flywheel.
Has anyone else seen this?
 
You could have a small leak around the rear seal, or you could have a leak on the seal of the redrive.  Can you see any evidence that it's running down the rear housing, or the mount plate?  Is your redrive oil drain OK?  
 
BTW, have you run a compression test yet?  Planning to?
