Re: leaks like a sieve
There has to be oil all over the front of the bellhousing, so that's probably masking the leak from the rear main spraying inside the BH & dripping out. If you have an automatic trans, set the park brake, chock all 4 tires in front & behind each, and put it in D. Have an assistant THAT YOU REALLY TRUST rev it SLIGHTLY just to the point that it tries to climb the chocks and watch from the side (NOT UNDER THE TIRES) to see if oil starts seeping out with a load on the engine. (You might also chain it to the base of a pole...) Have you checked your compression? How's your PCV & breather filter?
