Can you locate the actual location of the leak?

calm down lol, do not blow it up just step back from car okay?? i say clean that motor till it sparkles from top to bottom, run the car sitting still because on the road the oil would just blow on everything , and look and see if its visible, if its that bad it should be obvious to the eye, hope that'll help, i have an oil leak also, im sure my front seals gone, i had to replace my oil pressure sending unit too cuz it was leaking oil, good luck

I'm beginning to see I'm not the only one with this problem... my front (and possibly rear) crank seal leak, its my only car so I can't pull the engine or do any of the work, but I tried stepping up the viscosity of the oil, that definately slowed it down. degrease the whole engine, get a big piece of cardboard under the engine, and run it till you see oil drop on the cardboard, then trace if from there, if you cant see it from the top. It is also possible that one of the seals you replaced was faulty, or wasn't sealed quite well enough, just stay calm and maybe have some other people check it out for you too
