R56 oil leak

Wondering if someone can help me find source of leak. I just replaced the oil pan gasket as there was oil around the pan edge. I am still getting oil here and I can’t find source.

Could be the oil filter housing gasket. Clean the area up and then recheck to see if its coming from it.

Is that a giant hole in the picture at bottom center?

that does look like a hole in the transmission pan. It looks like there has been some scraping going on there.
