Major oil leak in my baby, shes bleeding to death !

Ok so i just swapped trannys got that done at a shop and i just installed the crank sensor at the bottom of the engine, i didnt see any o ring for the crank sensor im not sure if it needs one the one i took out didnt have one.

well it doesnt seem to drip oil unless the engine is hot or the engine is running but the whole undercarriage is covered in oil and there is a steady drip when its running.

it seems to be coming from the area of driver side injectors but i cant pinpoint it because there is oil everywhere all the way down half the cat and its even dripping on the exhaust and thats how i noticed it because i can smell burning oil after i drive.

i included some pics if it helps, please let me know what you guys think thanks so much!

first thing is to clean up the area so u can figure out where its from.
Im assuming you swapped out a manual trans. Maybe its leaking from the rear main seal?
Check oil cooler lines/filter. Could be a valve cover but that looks like to much oil. Check oil pan.

Check your tip stick and make sure its all the way in. Trust me. lol. After i installed bunch of polished parts in my engine bay the dipstick was never put in all the way and oil was squirting out. It took me a day to figure it out. it was also only on the drivers side of the engine/underbody.

^^ I agree. Best thing I've found to clean up a mess like that under the car is simple green. I have one spray bottle with simple green, and another with just water in it. Spray an area down with the simple green, let it sit for a few minutes, then use the other spray bottle to rinse with. Works good.. Once you get it cleaned up, it'll be a lot easier to see where it's coming from.

Hopefully just the valve cover.. oil doesn't travel up (gravity works)... so find the highest point.

in pic 2 and 3 the smaller line looks like it's missing hose clamps.
