Still got an Oil Leak!!!

Ok so my cars been leaking everytime i drive it, when it sits, it wont leak. I got the car up and the oil is coming directly under the engine. It comes on the front sway bar and a little metal sheet behind it. Does anyone know what it could be, i changed my intake gasket about 4 months ago. Help

timing cover, wp seal, opti seal, crank seal, they would all leak when running, remove your throttle body and see if the top front of the block is dry then you know for sure its not the intake again, check oil cooler lines too

I checked the block and it is dry. The oil seems to come from the passenger side of the block. It seems to leak alot too. I have a buyer for my car and i dont want him complaining. Any help diagnostics i can do?

wash the bottom of the car really clean..... then start the car and go around the block real fast.... park it and since u have clean up the engine u will directly be able to see the fresh leak...

so clean bottom of engine...
drive car............
look at the bottom to pinpoint the leak...............

Thats the way i always do it

if its leaking from the passenger side of the block the only thing i can think of is the valve cover on that side
