A pan gasket or the front/rear cork gaskets could not drip at the rate
that was mentioned unless the sump was grossly overfilled, or the car is
accelerating/decelerating, and the oil has swamped the leaky area.
If nobody has yet mentioned it, there is no rear main seal on the alpine
or front for that matter, but it cant leak at that rate either, the above
conditions also exist.
The only things that could cause leakage at that rate, are an oil galley
plug leak, or if the front or rear main cap is loose or unsealed to the
engine block.
I dont remember what the rear side of the engine looks like, but
its possible there is an oil galley plug back there, dripping away.
