Wierd Problem

I now have my 2.4 rebuilt engine back in the car and am waiting for carbs and manifolds. I thought I would fill the engine with oil (9qts.) and turn it over to confirm oil pressure. No pressure. I got underneath and had a pinhole in the case bottom leaking some oil. Realizing I had to fix this, I removed the drain plug to drain the oil. NO OIL DRAINED FROM THE CRANKCASE. I removed the return oil line at the case back to the tank and no oil. Removed the spray bar supply line at the cam tower, no oil. I do notice some seepage from the lower valve cover(s). I did not have time to pursue it very long last night and will be back at it tonight. What could be the problem? Bad/plugged oil cooler?

Any suggestions would be helpful.
