Mine has a similar
leak so I changed my valve cover gaskets and it slowed down but did not go away. Any more Ideas would be great

The First thing I would do (and you may have checked this) but I would make sure the drain plug is tight. Is where the Oil pan mates up with the block covered in oil?

You need to make it oil free then start looking for the leak.

Beware Blazers are leakers.

Gale has the right idea. Clean the bottom of the motor really well so there isn't oil all over the place.

You can actually get a UV additive you can put in the oil. Run the motor for a little bit until it starts seeping again, then use a UV flashlight to see where the UV dye is at. It should show you where your leak is starting.
