You JB welded your oil lines? 
I would be willing to put money on that being the leak. Oil can still leak past JB weld.

How much oil are you losing?
Oil leaks usually aren't hard to notice at all, just look for where all the black gunk is in the engine bay. If its too dirty, then clean it all out and pay some more attention as to where the oil is building up (yet anouther reason to keep the engine bay clean)
More then likely you arent leaking oil, but you are burning it in the cylinder

Re:hairline cracks in back of block? fixable?
oh no... its leaking... on the back of the block i think its leaking from some hairline cracks in the block... another factor that probably did it, last summer before i put it away for the project i overheated my car pretty bad... lost all coolant from the heater hose in the block.. probably cracked then.. so basically run this till it blows while saving for a new engine.. anyone got any ideas on my next set up? A6 built... ZC DOHC built
let me know some ideas!
BTW - i'm staying D-series!!!
