2010 Fit massive oil leak

2010 Fit 125K This has been and excellent car for my daughter. No leaks or issues for the 40K we have owned it. Noticed oil on the drive yesterday and begin to look for the problem. Oil recently changed so first look was plug and filter. Realized leak was coming from top side. Cleaned engine and began to look, Suspected valve cover but can’t find any leak at least the the areas I can see and feel. Can see oil accumulating where the tranny vent is but it is motor oil not tranny fluid. Drove it last night a bit and still couldn’t see the source. Fast forward to this morning and drove it about 9 miles to work and it lost at least 2 qts of oil. Literally dripping off the frame. From the front I can see some oil film but can’t pinpoint the source. No indications of a blown head gasket. Oil is fine no water. I am baffled as to what could cause it to blow soooo much oil. Car has not be abused or overheated since we have it. Leak wise it has been one on the tightest engines I have ever owned. Headed for the shop Monday as my schedule won’t allow a big project at this time. Wondering if maybe a sensor or ??? has come loose where I can’t see it. Any insight is appreciated.
