Update:

First, thank you to Spook, Walker, and all others for your help!

Source of leak turned out to be front crank cover gasket. Per second shop, first shop did in fact install poor seals in addition to shoddy workmanship with regard to failing to clean and burnish shafts prior to seal installation, such that seals were leaking in addition to the crank cover gasket when i brought car to 2nd shop. The crank cover gasket leak was difficult to spot until after installation of new seals which evidently increased pressure on crank cover gasket thereby producing heavy leak. Borought car back to second shop who replaced crank cover gasket free of charge.

So far so good - after a couple of days of driving, no leaks!

I would be hard pressed to ever visit the first shop again, but the second shop should be commended for their professionalism and for standing behind their word that they would fix the leak - even if it meant returning a second time for additional labor and materials - free of charge.
