Glad you found it. That oil line has also been the source of leaks that are very hard to find. Often a crush washer is left in the recess in the head and then a second one is installed over it.

I had it all apart again and decided to replace the washers on the oil line to the head. This ended up fixing my oil leak. In the end, it makes the most sense that this was the cause of the leak, but somehow I was never able to catch it in the act. Thanks everyone!
That's the first, usual suspect that I inspect.
