If you only added 1/2 quart or so of oil and the engine was never started before you saw the leak, it is most likely not the oil pan gasket or the rear main. Be sure to check that the gasket was added between the flywheel housing and the block. A leak at the rear camshaft bearing would do just what you saw.
