On my way to lunch and noticed there was oil under the car, got under the car and seen oil on the bottom of the engine and transmission. Checked oil level and it was 3 quarts low, road to the store with a coworker and got oil.
Had the car taken to a garage and was told the real seal was blew out causing the leak. The reason it happened was the pcv was stopped up causing the pressure to build up in the crank case and blowing the seal, the garage charged me $930 to fix the pcv problem and pull the engine to replace the main seal.
