Default oil leak

I was cleaning my car today and realized that I have a pretty big oil leak on the drive side of my engine. I have looked and it is all over the side of the engine all the way to oil pan

Does anybody have any suggestions? Doesn't seem to be a valve cover leak

Put UV dye in the oil. Wait a bit then check the leak with a UV flashlight. That should show you where the leak is.

If you're not comfortable doing it yourself, most shops will do it for you.

If your still supercharged, the leak could be coming from the compressor. May be time for some new seals.
