Oil Leak

Oil Leak
Got a 91 5.0 with auto trans. Got a pretty good oil leak that I though was coming from the rear main seal because the oil seems to be dripping off the bottom of the bell housing..Took the dust cover off the front bottom of the bell housing and the ring gear/flywheel area was dry of any oil. My assumption would be if the RMS is leaking it would be wet with oil. Started looking further and it looks as if the oil is coming from the back of the engine higher up. I replaced the PCV valved a checked the hose and they seem fine. Any ideas where oil might be leaking from the back of the engine? It's now leaking to the point that it's dripping on the CATS and smoking. Thanks for any help.

I would check that next valve cover, intake and if you still can't seems to find it try this stuff.....

Thanks Guys for the info. I suspected the intake might be leaking but it's hard to see whats going on behind the engine. I replaced the valve cover gaskets last year and the pcv valve so they are good so all that's left is the intake gaskets. I guess I have a project to do this weekend.
