I just got my car back and the valve cover gaskets are leaking (search Oil Pool in the forums to see what the problem becomes). Thats where all my oil was going....

I did the search for you...

Unbelievable how much oil can fit up there...

I have heard of a product that allows you to add dye to your oil and use a UV light to find the leak. However, I have only seen this for freon leaks. Does this exist for oil leaks ?

Yes, they do have that for oil leaks. You should verify your oil pressure with a trusted mechanical gauge, the one in the car is hardly accurate. 4 psi is the standard oil pressure for idle, and about 10 psi per 1k rpms is considered norm.
