Motor oil leak 290k miles

Hello everyone,
The car is leaking motor oil. It is pretty bad. I already changed the oil filter housing gasket. No leaks at valve cover gasket and drain plug is not leaking. When I look under the engine I see motor oil on oil pan and it is hard to tell if it’s the oil pan gasket or not due to motor oil above the oil pan as well. Please help!!

Which o-ring and/or gaskets did you change on the #12 spool valve assembly below?
If only #13, then potential leaks could occur from #15 & 29.
It's best to hose down all areas (red arrows) with brake clean & monitor if you are certain no leaks are coming from the valve covers?

I replaced 13 and 15 and on the sensor I don’t see the leak. I feel like the oil is leaking above the oil pan and fear it is oil pump seal. I was told by quick lube shop I have a slow oil pan gasket leak. If that’s the case there won’t be oil leaking above the oil pan.
