Default Oil leak

Hey guys my car is leaking oil (more like pumping it out...flowing out at a good rate) from the top of the engine and is leaking down the driver side bell housing. Any ideas what could be the problem?

Check the oil pressure sender? (behind intake on driver side)

If it's not the oil pressure sending unit, the rubber gasket under one of your valve covers might have come unseated during installation. Had the covers off recently?
