Default 99 dodge stratus oil leak major please help

ok so my gfs dodge had jsut gotten an oil change within days it was leaking oil 1-2 qts in 30 minutes. i changed the valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, and the cam position o ring. started the car and still has the same leak, only when the car is running though. now i see the leak coming from between the oil pan and the next (what looks like another pan) towards drives side. next to the oil pan seems to be a small flat wall the leak is coming from there, does anyone have any ideas??

Shane,

We are going to need to know more information about what we're dealing with here.
Just knowing the year isn't sufficient. What engine and trim level is the car?

2.0, 2.4, or 2.5v6??

Hit us back with that, and we can start giving suggestions.

Default dam sorry yea its

a 2.4l non turbo not sure what you mean by trim sorry. it leaks only when running now and mostly when the gas is pushed, but its holding the oil now when car is turned off. someone told me it is the rear main seal between the crankshaft and tranny, its leaking from right beside the oil pan on that flat panel towards the drivers side. if that helps
