Default excessive oil leak

I just got done rebuilding my d16z6 and am having some oil leak issues... It leaking on the flywheels and timing belt sides.. I also have ported and shimmed my z6 pump.
And it only leaks when it is running well that when the most oil leaks... I have just changed my oil pump seal with a oem one and have bought the flywheels side on to but if it still continues to leak i dont think a new seal will fix it... I have never had a oil leak this bad... I dont know what could be causing this...

sounds like the pan gasket to me, did you replace the pan gasket?

well you said you changed the oil pump seal and the rear main seal right ? only leaves one place, unless you damaged the new seals in the install. And if you just rebuilt it why did you not change the pan gasket?

Looks like you are right it was a combination of the seals i am going to use some silicon to stop the oil pan gasket from leaking... I am trying to avoid changing the rear one. Ha
