Default oil leak - ideas where?

Hi all

Just had engine rebuilt and have a oil; leak from hell.
Had new gaskets/oil rings etc all done but it seems to be pouring out and i cant find the bloody thing.

The oil is coming from ( what i can tell) the middle at the back on my cross member that the engine sits on. Any pipes up there as i cant see ? or could it be the engine block? any ideas would be great as its costing me a fortune in oil.

It is also going back to where the rebuild was done but cant get it in yet - so when i do, if i have an idea that would be a great help.

cheers
