Oil leak... thanks seafoam, maybe its not seafoam... but something else.... Options

I know it wasn't probably the greatest idea but I have heard lots of good things about them. I even tried it in my beater corolla before I put some in my Celica. It ran a lot smoother than it originally had. But anyways, my car is now leaking oil from the backside of the block.

What oil seals or oil line are behind the block underneath the intake manifold?


*notes*
198,000 miles lol. its been rebuilt with the lowest quality grade gasket... found that out when i was doing the oil pump before.
I left the car over night, the oil is really black but has a watery feel to it? Oil on my dipstick is a golden brown... ?

*update*
- oil leaking from the dizzy
- one of the(i thik its a vaccum line) is broken at the base of the power steering pump

valve cover gasket is the only source i can think of as far as i no there is no oil lines behind the block/head and any amount of oil between the head/block gets burnt not leaked so its not head gasket
valve cover gasket is 25$ from toyota and u can do it in ur garage. DONT FORGET FIGP!

did they use FIGP on the corners? otherwise 99% its STILL leaking

picture? at what point does the oil drip? below/above intake manifold? is there a crack/hole in your block from crank walk lol
