oil leak with the 4.0L 1990 Cherokee continually drips oil

I have changed the pan ,valve cover ,distributor gaskets and the rear main seal the oil filter is ok as is the head gasket PCV is ok too

It seems to be the oil pan or the rear main seal but the are in the same place -so how can I tell which is still leaking?

Thanks

rem did pass the time by typing:

99% of leaks from that location are actually from the back of the valve cover. Wipe the top of the block clean then go back after a day and check.
