Okay so I have a 2006 Mazda 6 S and I've had a constant oil leak for about 2 months now. Trying to locate and fix the leak. I have already replaced both the valve covers and valve cover gaskets and the leak is still happening. There have been people telling me its because of a freeze plug but that doesn't sound right. Below is a photo taken of the oil pan and the exhaust. The valve cover gasket was previously leaking onto the oil pan and then the exhaust. But after replacing the valve cover and valve cover gasket it appears that there is still an oil leak as the puddle underneath is new. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

leak spots you haven't addressed:
oil pan gasket
timing cover gasket
on the driver's side is the cam gasket over the water pump.

What mitro said above.
If you are pooling oil that is generally more than we see from those previously mentioned leak spots.
Wipe it down then see where it comes from.
Good luck.

The fan blows it all around. The only thing you can do is take an educated guess it’s coming from the front. Modular engine. Lots of seams.
