Any way to stop this leak without dropping the oil pan? Gasket is felpro and brand new.

Tighten the bolts up? Squirt some RTV over the area?

Beware that over tightening them can warp the pan flange and cause it to leak. Wash all that gunk off the front of the engine and try to pinpoint the location of the leak. Like mentioned it could be the front seal.
 
Same thing on mine with the same gasket. Dropped the pan added a little goop and oil leak is gone. Good luck.

On the down side I have to check my oil now to make sure its still in there :)
