Default Oil cooler leak help needed

Installed Z1's 25 row (thermostatic) oil cooler kit last weekend and thought all was well, but then found a slight leak when I went to double check it. Per Z1 (forgot the person's name), I retightened all the fittings - ended up having to take the oil filter and sandwich plate off then retighten. Unfortunately, it's still dripping from what appears to be the left side (Mocal name engraving). I felt around the top where the fittings are and i don't think it's leaking from there.

Can anyone suggest anything else to check? Is it possible that I'm still not tightening the fittings enough?

I would call Z1, but I don't think they'd be open tomorrow.
