Try getting a small lighted inspection mirror in there to see where it is leaking from. Ended up replacing my plate with a new one. Good luck.
I was feeling all around it with my hands and a clean rag.

Reinstall it and don't over tighten the fitting that bolts the plate to the block, And make sure both surfaces are clean.

I know its bloody mess!

I had the same issue once.

I just reinstalled and tightend just enough that it was snug and have not had any issues since.
The fitting that screws directly into the sandwich plate moves when i'm tightening the lines unto it...i guess i can use another wrench to hold the fitting in place so it doesn't overtighten.
