Default 2004 engine oil leak?

Hello everyone,

I took the oil pan off the bottom of my car to change the oil and I have a massive leak. I've attached pictures of where it looks like it is leaking. Looks like the seals between the engine and transmission. Has anyone had this problem or something like this problem? I'm desperate for help on this one. Thanks!

Could be the rear main but also check the rear cam seals.

Make sure the PCV system isn't clogged causing the seals to leak.

quick test for the PCV system is to remove the oil filler cap and place a latex glove over the top. If the glove inflates after you start the car, it suggests the PCV is not venting crankcase gasses back into the intake and pressure will need to vent - typically out the dipstick, the oil filler cap or cam seals...
