Pushing out oil...

Inlaws have a 2006 E350 with 70k miles on it. Always dealer maintained. Recently, the oil sensor went off and they had a shop put a quart of oil in. I think this overfilled the case and the car is now pushing absurd amounts of oil out of the top passenger side of the engine. Any thoughts to where it might be leaking? I took off the front cover but didn't see where the oil is seeping out from. Its a massive amount in a relative short amount of time. Dipstick currently shows a half full crankcase, but the oil still seems to leak out when running.

Any thoughts?

My guess to locate the leak is to put the running car on a lift and carefully view the car from the underside!!
