You'll need to provide more information. Where is it coming from? Have you looked into the valley? If its pooling up there, it will exit out the back of the block, down through the bellhousing, and out where it will appear to be a rear main seal leak. There are numerous areas you could have a leak, and many here, including myself, have dealt with a number of them.

With the motor running, get up there with an inspection mirror, strong light, and clean white paper towels. Carefully stuff the paper towels in any suspected areas and you'll quickly find your leak. This is how I located an HPOP plug leak, and another time an HPOP hose fitting leak.

Alright I checked both hpop lines and no leaks at all I'm just stumped leads me to belive it's the pedistal seals using 2 quarts of oil in about 15 to 20 miles that's quite a lot of oil
