I have a very bad oil leak (hemmorage might be a better word), but I have great oil pressure when the oil is full. In fact, there is pressure until most of the oil is gone. I tried to find the source of the leak, but it is leaking onto all of the belts and the fan, so it is everywhere. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to look and what it might be?

You're going to have to go to the car wash and clean off the engine is good as you can, it sounds like the oil cooler lines are leaking. That is on the left side of the engine next to the radiator. Check those lines, also check your vacuum and your vale cover gasket in the front.
