Default Oil pissing out back of engine

At first i thought it was my rear main, but after wiping everything down It looked like it was coming from my oil filter. I have an oil sandwich plate for my turbo but it doesn't seem wet around that area and after removing the sandwich plate it and putting on a new oil filter it still leaks. I don't believe it is the oil filter.

Things that I have done recently:

New poly motor mounts
New headgasket, arp head studs (done months ago, hasn't given me issues)
New intake manifold
Turbo installed

​​​​​​Rear cam seal area is dry.

The leak is a steady stream, no dripping just a straight up drizzle of oil.

Alright so it appears to be my oil pan. When I jacked up the motor a few weeks ago to do the motor mounts i heard a large crack and didn't think much of it. I might as well buy a new on and get my turbo feed welded into it.

Does anyone know if non-honda oe oil pans are good. I dont want to but I'll buy oem if i have to. Are the y7 pans steel?

You have a u pull it place near you. Might be cheaper and get a oem pan out of it.

Do not buy an aftermarket steel pan. I got one and the paint coating inside the pan flaked up into the oil pick up tube.

Buy a stock used one

You may find one with it welded already. You never know what you will find in a u pull it place.
