So it would appear from the follow up inspections that the oil loss is coming 
from the connection between the rear of the engine block and the rear back 
plate. That connection has the the main block to plate gasket and the small 
rectangular gasket strip along the rear bear cap. There are two cylindrical 
gasket plugs that slide in the groove between the side of the rear bearing cap 
and the block. That should seal the connection. It would seem like a damaged 
rear bearing on the cam or crank would not be the cause of the leak for the 
volume that was reported but it would place the oil outside the crankcase.
