Annoying Oil Leak

My car leaks oil after shutdown. When running, no leaks, but after I turn it off, over about a period of 30 minutes, it will form two small puddles. each about 3-5 inches in diameter. The puddles are 5 inches from each other. Center of the engine bay, damn near dead center. No smoke on startup or otherwise. Started after I ported my wastegate, but it is not the turbo oil return lines (i investigated). Thoughts?

One of my OMP lines busted and was dripping down after filling up the gap between the block and the LIM. Check the lines to the oil injectors.

Well, I think this would only cause a leak during operation, then. But I will check it out. I just need a nice cool day to rip everything out of the engine bay.
