I have replaced every seal and gasket known to man in this engine and is still pouring oil. Just starting to wonder if the head gasket can leak a lot of oil and not cause anymore problems.

So you have replaced every gasket but one of the most obvious ones? Change your head gasket. Where is it leaking from?

Best way to check to see ift he head gasket is bad is to check the oil and see if it is milky or cloudy as coolant would likely be mixing with it as well.

Can you pinpoint and area where the oil is coming from?

You need to pinpoint the location it's leaking from. After you think you find it, clean it up good then watch it leak to see if it's the correct spot.

It's possible but not common, for the headgasket to leak oil out but NOT leak coolant into the oil. Head gasket it a big, job, so I'd verify it's actually leaking before "just replacing it".
