Default Oil leak Oil filter area

Ok so I had my engine rebuilt and reinstalled, breakin it in. After 360 miles it started leaking oil in the oil filter area. Doesn't seem to be the filter. Could be the oil temp sensor claptrap. Any ideas? Taking it in for 500 mile oil change, will have them check it out.

Very possibly BUT,, it could be anything as the engine was apart and reassembled. Get a mirror and a flash light and look behind the intake manifold at the base of the OPS.
