Hi Ernie,

A leak like that won't be the oil pan gasket.  The level of the oil is above
the gasket at all the times so shutting the engine down will not make an
immediate difference.  If the oil leak stops or gets substantially less as
soon as the engine is shut down then suspect a pressurized area.  Like Shaun
already said, check the oil cooler both the rubber seals and the gasket
between the oil cooler adapter and the block.  You might also check the oil
pump gasket, pressure regulator gasket, accessory adapter gasket and the
rear housing gasket.
