Default Re: Oil Leak Troubleshooting

ok - so I did a couple items. I changed the oil which I didn't know when the last time it was done (I bought it in late October). I also went through and tightened up the oil return, valve cover, pan bolts, oil drain plug - replaced seal, and tightened as well as replaced the middle flywheel dust cover bolt (was missing). Through this I did find at least 5 loose bolts. Started, warmed up, and now only leak I am seeing is at the cotter pin on the bottom of the flywheel as shown in the picture below. It was dripping pretty good while running. Oil level when cold is now at the mark on the dipstick. Could I be looking at an overfilled oil pan, or something else?
