Bets in order of likelihood:

1) Rear Cam seal (plug)
2) Split aftermarket breather box (or OEM cleaned with brake cleaner) dumping oil, but that's pretty fast for that kind of leak
3) Rear main ... if it's basically fallen out. I think this is really unlikely.

It's probably the cam plug. You should still check the breather system because if that's plugged, it can cause positive crankcase pressure and make the cam plug fail.
