OK... Its not as bad as I thought this morning. Got some oil dye and ran the engine.
Apparently I had 2 bad leaks, and I've repaired the first one, which was the oil filter stand gasket. After running its all still bone dry and dye shows NO oil there or anywhere, including the head and valve cover gaskets. This knocked my oil leak puddle down by half or more.
However...
Dye is showing oil streaming from back oil pan bolt drivers side. Bolt is stripped and finger loose. Oil is running out that and also inside bell housing same vicinity.

How do I fix this? Thinking of getting a longer bolt and also injecting with JB Weld or something that will seal even with oil residue.
