slight oil leak M52 oil pan

I had a guy replace my oil suction tube and naturally the oil pan needed to be dropped.

I have 2 small drips of oil under my car.
I cleaned everything up. Put a piece of cardboard under the car and will inspect again.

My concerns are in shot 1 there was some oil along what looks to be the casting.

Shot 2 there are 2 places where they look like bolts would go.
I'm not seeing any oil there.

I am finding some oil near the left tie rod boot.
Can't tell where it's coming from.

I cleaned up everything real well.
Ran the car about 10 minutes and I can see some seepage above the arrow in shot 1.
Bolts are tight. I don't now if the tech used any sealant when he changed the gasket on the pan.
