Default oil leak driving me crazy

ok I have replaced the valve cover gasket, rear main seal, and oil pan gasket but it is still leaking like crazy in the same spot as on the pics this guy has. at an idle no leak but drive it and it is nearly pouring out plus when I first start it oil psi is perfect but once it gets warmed up psi drops to nothing any ideas

Check your oil filter housing.. Theres an o-ring inside that gets worn out.. If you noticed a build up of oil and grim near the filter housing, and prob on the starter, then theres your problem.
