wicked bad oil leak

yes i know these 12 valves are notorious for oil leaks but i got a pretty bad one. ive burned close to 2 gallons of oil in a little less then a week. i can see the leak is coming from somewhere on the on back of the block and its making me think rear main but i don't want to think that. anyone know of some common places on the back of the motor to look for leaks?

Could be rear main, valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket, or if your afc is loose it'll leak while driving.

Invest in a couple cans of degreaser and go to town. Then sit under there while running and look around with a flash light.
