I had the 1-piece BOP oil pan gasket and 1-piece rear main seal as well and I would get the tiniest drip from the center locating spike on the oil pan gasket exactly like the OP. I ended up snipping the rubber spike flush with the pan, cleaning with carb cleaner, then slathering a small amt of RTV on that area. It never leaked again.
I really like the idea of gently tapping the edge of the pan around the locator tab up to get a better compression of the gasket in that area.
