I had 2 oil leaks..
1 that appeared to be the Oil Temp feeder (or very near it)
another that was the gasket that attaches the oil cooler to the oil pan.
(the oil pan was removed to install the oil tap for the s/c)

I had clicking in the rear driver's side wheel... it turned out to be the spindle nut.
Sucks you're still having trouble, and sorry I recommended you to DT in the first place. I'm never going back there again myself. A few months, I took my M3 there to put in there H&R Coilovers. Did everything fine except they left the wheel nuts loose on my front driver side wheel. Thankfully I checked it out and tightened it. The mechanic replied with "oops" when I informed him. Yea "oops" the wheel could of came off and I would have crashed.
Then when I got home and looked it over again... Found a HUGE scratch on one of my 1 week old BBS LM wheels. I was PISSED. I took the car back immediately and to make a long story short, they denied damaging it and blamed me. Now how the fock could I damage 1 week old wheels, that only had 25 miles on them. I replaced it with a new one from TireRack and sent DT the bill. I'm still out $1100.

I had to take it to Braman Honda, dropped it off and picked it up after work. You're probably better off taking it to Rick Case though.
There's a Honda service document regarding the spindle nut issue somewhere on this website.

NO MORE CLICKING!!! WOOO HOOO!!!
as far as DT goes... don't sweat it dude.. There is no way in Hell you would have told me to go there.. had you known.. I have always known that...
Sorry to hear about your rims... and they do seem to have a nut tightening issue don't they? sheeesh! that one could have been worse than the drivetrain.. fortunately.. it was caught...
Now... still trying to figure out the oil feeder issue... hard to get under there and actually see where its leaking...
