Oil pan or crank seal leak?
I think you misunderstood me. It appears that the leak might be coming from higher on the engine. Valve cover gasket? Cam seal? Start by fixing the leaks up high and work your way down. Clean as you go. There's also an o-ring on the oil pump output roughly behind ('inside' the engine) that less commonly could be your issue.
You can also try adding some dye to your oil and checking every day with a black light until your leak source appears. With that much oil around it will spread and wick too quickly to be useful after the first signs.
Actually, now that I type taht out... start by cleaning the crap out of everything and adding the dye to the engine oil, unless you've got something obvious up high.
