Phantom oil leak Gen 1

Doorplease

hey guys so I've been having oil leak problems on my 3.0 it had a major leak which turned out to be the driver side cam shaft seal. After taking It a mechanic (because I was to afraid to change it myself) I got a good 12k out of it in 3 months, but it never quite felt right. 3 weeks and about 3k ago my truck started blowing out oil on the highway so I pulled over towed it back home and my buddy and I changeed the crankshaft seal. . After installing the new seal we found that the previous mechanic left the timing off by 1-2 teeth on the passenger side came, we figured he didn't pay attention after fighting with the tensioner while reinstalling. Yesterday The same type of oil leak (a Qt every 5 min or so)happened again on i35 (in Austin 350 miles from home thank god for friends...). So now I'm wondering could it be the oil pump that's causing this leak? Any other common leak spots I may be overlooking?
