I have heard that it maybe the gasket on the back of the oil pan leaking to where it is dripping on the drive shaft and then the oil is getting thrown around.. Does anyone have any ideas of what it could be? Also is this a common 4-Runner issue? Thanks for the help.

There's absolutely no way for any of us to know where your engine is leaking oil from. You've got two options - get a good degreaser and go to town on your motor so you can see where the fresh oil is coming from (a good idea anyway, a clean motor runs cooler and is easier to work on), or pick up one of the UV dye kits from a parts store and find the leak that way.
Once you've pinpointed it, somebody may be able to offer advice on how to deal with it.
