I agree with changing the filter to one that has a drain back and a bypass.
The WIX 51516 has these features; others may also.
As others have mentioned there are only three places for oil to come out
the back of the engine. The crankshaft, the camshaft and the end of the oil
gallery. None should leak as quickly as yours seems to unless something bad
happened. Unfortunately the rear engine plate must be removed to see where
the source is.
