What about a good degrease and clean and then see if you can spot the leak.
If you pull the notor then I would do a quick reco, hone the bores, polish the crank, new bearings and rings

Oil leaks on a T3....I'd be checking one of the oil pressure senders for the source. Degrease and have a very close look to see exactly where its
coming from.
