22RE Oil leak somewhere.......?

My 91 Toyota Pickup with 22RE engine is also leaking oil like mad. I can't seem to locate where the oil is coming from. Today i degreased the entire engine in an attempt to pinpoint the location of my oil leak. Afterwards, i started the truck up and let it run. Once the engine warmed up, it started to leak oil. I have narrowed the oil leak down to one area, but i have no idea where exactly it is coming from. The oil is coming out in the vicinity of the alternator pulley and main pulley(crankshaft pulley?). In the 5 minutes the engine was running, it managed to coat the entire alternator with oil, and a mist coated the ground in a perfectly straight line about 3 feet wide directly under the front of the truck. WTF? Ive been under the truck and i cannot find the leak. Anyone have any ideas? Is this a common occurence for this engine? I purchased the truck last year, and it has been sitting for about 9 months now. It didn't leak when i bought it.
