Oil Leak Solved...
 
Per my earlier thread Oil Catch Can, I think I figured out what was causing my engine to leak after spirited driving... :)

When my car first started leaking, I added a quart of additive designed to condition leaky seals (Bar's Leaks). The problem still persisted after my 'fun' drives on twisty roads, but went away when I drove more civilized... :o

I decided to check my oil level and it was about an inch above the 'F' mark on the dipstick (due to the quart of additive I put in)! :eek: I decided to drain about a 1.5 quarts of oil from my engine and then add new oil until the mark was between the 'L' and 'F' marks on the dipstick. The leak is completely gone now!
