Rocker covers are common leak sources. Hoses too. Just look very carefully.

A common strategy is to clean the engine very well so you can see where new fluid is coming from.

I have sprayed the entire underbody with royal purple and power washed it. Vehicle is sitting over clean (for now) cement so I can try to pin point where all the oil is coming from.

MOTORVATED, im a little late to this party but you may want to check the oil pressure switch. mine leaked like a sieve from a release valve on it though it was small it sprayed the area with oil all over. it sits above the filter and can really make a mess.

I agreed with Walko327.
I was going to install an oil pressure gauge and the nut left to the oil filter just above the OEM oil valve was loose. I have tighten the nut and cleaned the area with a grease remover and no more oil.

And also not "everyone" recommends the huge purolator. I recommend Wix 51515 or Baldwin B2.

Which, I am told, is the same as Napa Gold 1515. (which I use and is easy to find)

Yes, Wix rebrands the 51515 for NAPA, also for Carquest, but I don't know that PN.
