Massive oil leak on passenger side

Experiencing a massive oil leak all of a sudden. The oil is leaking down where the engine/transmission meets and also where the front passenger side axle connects to the oil pan. Valve cover gasket was done the same time this oil leak started to develop. Of course, I thought maybe the valve cover gasket was kinked somewhere, but inspecting the perimeter of the valve cover gasket, it looks to be dry/clean. I can't seem to find a higher point where the oil can be coming from when inspecting around the oil pan/engine block area. Is there something that I may be overlooking or simply not seeing that I should double check?

I left the car sitting for two weeks and came back to a 1'x2' large oil stain on the driveway.
