I have a '98 Dodge Grand Caravan, 3.0 liter engine ...Major Oil Leak!

I have a '98 Dodge Grand Caravan, 3.0 liter engine.

150,000 miles.  Last week my oil cap was missing and oil had been coming out all over my engine and I replaced and added 2 quarts of oil.  Yesterday, while driving I noticed a steady stream of oil on the pavement from my car.  Then, while stopped, engine running, oil was coming out at a faster rate underneath,,around the passenger side of engine.  Could the oil cap have caused this?  Could it be the oil pan?  I have had to watch the oil as there are and have been oil leaks with this van, since it has a lot of miles on it.  But, now the steady oil leak and where it is coming from I am not sure.  Any ideas?

if you have an oil leak while the engine is running and it seems to be ata  steady rate than you have a pressure leak so check your oilsending unit  or around the oil filter both are about in the same area you are describing,you may clean the the old oil by using a degreaser and wash it down with water then start and check.good luck
