I have changed my main engine seal and didn’t stop and leaks. It leaks about 3 quarts a day and I have oil in my intake.

Hi,
So you have external leaks and it leaks this much? I would suggest cleaning off the engine with shop solve cleaner and then putting dye in the oil and letting it idle for 15-20 minutes then shutting it off and looking for the dye.
This is a large leak so I suspect you have several leaks so just make sure you run the engine until you are sure you found all of them.
Here is a guide that is the most common leaks but again, with it leaking this much I suspect you will have a few or one really bad one:
