ok...if i cant see it i cant be sure if im right, but it sounds like front main seal or possibly cam seals...
you can get an engine dye kit, fully degrease and clean up your engine, put the dye in the oil, drive a couple days, and shine a UV light using the special glasses that come with the kit to pinpoint the leak.

its good, just rip off a piece of joint paper and use it as a patch. works well in my experience.
