Oil leak rear passenger side of 5sfe -- picture attached Options

[Celi94bk]

I have a problem now, This use to be a small leak but now it is a full blown 5 quart a day engine draining monster of a problem.

I have located the source of the problem I would like to see what can be done about the issue.

Basically
-I removed the protective plastics from the passenger side of the engine.
-Cleaned the area of Oil
- Located the location of the leak

I originally though that the problem was with the oil pan. So I tightened a couple of the bolts and it still has the same leak.
The leak is a fast leak from the rear of the engine above the oil drain bolt in the oil pan.

I have enclosed a picture of where the leak is coming from. (this picture is of a 5SFE engine from a mr2 found it on the internet just to show where this leak is coming from)

What do you think I tried to tighten the two bolts and they seemed loose but did not want to put too much pressure on them because the engine was still kinda hot.

The arrow on this picture is where the oil is spewing from I will attempt to get better pictures with my camera today If I can not get this issue resolved.

Any suggestions or help would be great..

I did that before I got my camera out.... smart huh

it is called flex steel and I used it to repair my top of my radiator so I thought that if that was where the leak was coming from it would seal it up and all would be fine.

No harm though it is just some super high heat epoxy.

I will be dropping this off to my mechanic tomorrow and have him look at it. It is over my head I think it will have to be traded in if it is not a cheap fix.

How much do you think a rear main seal would cost?
My mechanic said that it could be a oil sending unit and may be a cheap fix, any thought on this?
