Major Oil Leak - 92 Ranger

[drew92]

I have a major oil leak coming from what looks like behind the engine. I have checked the oil pan and it doesn't look to be coming from there. It all started when I parked one day after a half hour regular drive. I went in the house for 5 minutes and when I came out, I see a steady stream of oil pouring out and a huge puddle under the truck. I would say I leaked a good quart or so.

After talking with a guy at work, he said it could be a seal on the oil pressure gauge? I don't think I can see that far behind the engine.
Any ideas?

Help!?!?

It could be oil pressure seal or worst the rear main seal. Although, Ford is known to have bad rear main seal.

i agree with al. sound slike the rear main seal has blown.
