I have noticed oil is leaking on my exhaust at the firewall. The whole underside of the engine from the oil filter to the driveshaft is wet with oil. the top and sides of the bell housing are dry. I opened the window/cover in the bell housing and the torque convertor is totally dry. I replaced my valve cover gaskets. This problem started after I added the supercharger. Since then I took the s/c off and the problem still exists. Oil leak only happens when driving the car after it warms up. There is no puddle under the car when I park it. I check the oil every day and I am not needing to add any. I am getting frustrated with this problem. Please HELP!

Check the back of the lower intake manifold. I had that before.
