massive oil leak - MI

Hi Guys:
I just pulled out of the church parking lot and saw a puddle of oil beneath my truck. Oil pressure was OK, so I drove a few miles home. In my driveway, the leak really opened up, and now my engine is dry. The oil seems to be dripping from somewhere in the front half of the engine. Is this likely a main seal?

Hello and welcome TBasch. Sorry to hear you are having problems today.
Year, Model and engine information would help in pointing you in the right direction.
I would first look for an oil cooler line split or broken.
A main seal will not go all at once but there can be exceptions!

Stop by your state or regional chapter and you may wish to post the question in the forum for you year of truck and also there is a forum for engine size/types.
