Leaking 390GT?

Yeah, people are saing what else is new! LOL!

When I 1st got my '68 GTalmost a yr ago it sat in the garage for about a month it didn't leak much, then it went into have work done, motor pulled, engine bay repainted etc. Valve cover gaskets and oil pan and gaskets replaced.
Ever since then the motor has been leaking a lot. I would drive the car, park it and w/in about 10 mins find a bunch of drops (about quarter sized) on the cardboard under the motor. so I tightened up the oil pan and valve covers and still no luck. I drove to Mustang's Unlimited a few wkends ago 200mi round trip for the show and had to add about 2 quarts during the round trip. Then when driving in the driveway my dad got mad b/c every 5 feet or so you could see a drop of oil! Now my nice new clear floors and under carriage have oil all over them. I even noticed drips after the car was sitting from under the rear floors!!
I'm guessing my rear main seal might be bad (yeah dumb me didn't thinkt to replace it when the motor was out! I hear it is a bear to do now! and think I wil need to clean everything up now and try to narrow the leaks down.
any other ideas or am I on target?

tia, sorry for the long post,
Mike
