All of a sudden my car has developed a fairly large oil leak. I almost have to add a quart every other day. I cleaned up the under body and it seems like a lot of the oil is in the area between the transmission and engine. Does this sound like the dreaded rear main seal??? I check the Turbo return line and it doesn't seem to be coming from there. Is there anywhere else I should check?? What would have caused this; I change my oil religiously with synthetic every 5K miles. Is there anything I should absolutely change to avoid the high pressure build up again from destroying my rear main seal??

Thanks in advance.
