Would a leak this far back be from the oil pan? if not, what do you think? its a good amount of oil

I'd check for a fuel leak in the fuel tank.

How much oil is collected in the belly pan?
Bottom plastic engine cover?
And tranny cover?

i havent pulled any of that stuff but there was a little oil near the downpipes. ill be pulling off the bottom cover to get a better look but i havent had to add any oil and its been a while so i didnt think it was that much.
