HELP! Still have oil leaks!
So i have a 98 A6 Q 2.8L and have replaced the following gaskets/seals on my car:
Valve cover gaskets
Camchain tensioner gaskets with half moon seals
Lower oil pan gasket
Yesterday I changed out my lower oil pan gasket while I performed a routine oil change. Before doing this job I noticed a drip of oil a day under the car on the passenger side. Now after changing out the oil pan gasket, over night oil dripped under the center of the enine. My cover is on the car and I didn't have time to look this morning as my wife drives the car to work.
What else could be leaking? I'll make sure I torqued the bolts down properly again on the oil pan but isn't it 7 ft/lbs torque???
Thanks in advance.

There is a cam plug on the back of each each head.
There are cam seals (as opposed to cam adjuster seals) at the front of back one and the front and back of bank two (4 in total). Crank seals are at the front and back of the crank.
Check the cam plugs first, and take another look at the cam adjuster seals. If that job was not done right you'll have leaks.

Is this what the cam seal looks like?
