Default oil leak problem/need help bad

I have an 07 silverado classic. 4.3 v6 (my baby) it just started leaking oil bad about a week ago. I finally got it up on ramps to try and locate the problem. But I can't find it because there are drips coming from several places because there is oil everywhere. I mean EVERYWHERE! From front of engine to rear of transmission. There is even oil as far back as gas tank. Does anyone know what the problem might be ?

the first problem is youre leaking oil
the second problem is youre driving it and the turbulence is pushing the oil all over the underside

clean up the oil as best you can and try to run the truck without driving it to see where the oil is coming from.generally speaking the wind shouldnt push the oil up or forward but gravity and wind will push it down and back
