When I get the mount plate out I'll drop some oil through the returns and make sure there are holes in the mount plate under these points.

At the very least, you might want to drill a few extra holes near the areas where you suspect the leaks to be.  At least that would limit the pooling in that area.  
 
FWIW, my mount plate always leaked too.  It's just an annoying few drips, that I knew I couldn't stop without pulling everything apart.  I plan to have everything surgically clean when I put it together this time.   
 
Good luck,
