Hi,
I originally thought I had a main seal oil leak but it definitely coming from above. Check the link. Vertical video to I could see the leak better.
Anyone have any ideas of what seal or gasket it would be?
Thanks,

I hate to say it, but you may have a hole rotted in your valley. Pull the intake manifold and see if that is the case.

Is this what you were referring to?
"The worst rot happens to the aluminum engine blocks. Many of the PRV V6 engines die a young death due to "block rot". Moisture accumulates in the valley and eats through the very thin block. Just on the inside of the weak spot is a high pressure oil galley. When it rots through, a massive oil leak ensues. There is no good fix for the block and the engine often runs dry of oil within a very short period of time." -forum.24hoursoflemons
