So I've noticed I'm losing about a quart every couple weeks. Back in August I would lose about a quart a month or less, with a drip here and there. Fast forward to today and it's way more. I can't tell where it's coming from but it's driving me nuts, because it all over under the car. I took a video where it looks like the origination is, but not being mechanically inclined not sure what it's coming out of.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be awesome! She has 280,000 miles and other than oil leak runs great!

Looks like your timing cover gasket has failed. Not too difficult to replace and fairly inexpensive.

Needs to be repaired soon not just for the volume of oil loss. But that gasket also keeps you water and oil separated as the water flows in and out of the radiator.
