Massive oil leak front of engine 700

Yesterday I was driving and noticed a burning oil smell and then my low oil light intermittently coming on. I pulled over and found the front of he engine, accessory pulleys, etc. to be covered in oil. I added two quarts of oil and drove 10 miles home, the low oil light was already on again. The car was not leaking any significant oil prior to this.

There is so much oil that it is hard to tell where the leak is but it is definitely down low, possibly the crankshaft seal.

Is there another potential leak point in this area?

I am planning on doing the front main seal, are there others I should do while I've got it apart?

Thanks for the help!
