where is the oil leak??

I have a serious oil leak, leaving a trail of oil and having to at a couple qts in 20mi!!!

But where is is coming from? I see a slight leak on one of the front timing covers, but its no where near that much.

I thought it might be the Rear Main seal, but again, doesnt look that wet.

Looking upward from the bell housing I could trace a stream of fresh oil going up to the top of the bellhousing. slightly to the right side (passenger) But I just changed the Valve cover gasket on that side. cant fully see back there but I could feel fresh fluid from the backside of the intake manifold somewhere. What is back there that could literally be pumping oil out???
