    Update #3: The oil leak persists largely unchanged. Next up is going to be the CPS mount bolt since I didn't seal it up when I torqued down the oil pan.

    Edit:
    Update #4: Removed the upper CPS mount bolt and cleaned it up. The lower mount bolt can be reached with a stubby 10 mm spanner. To do so, the 10 mm nut holding the CPS adjuster in place needs to be removed. The adjuster with the CPS mounted to it slides out and you gain the space necessary to reach the lower bolt. Mine was a bit loose, but didn't take much to tighten up. Will report again once I drive the car and check for leaks.
