Engine Oil Leak, Front Passenger side below head.

[StormRnr]

I noticed an engine leak on the front passenger side of the engine. There is not much info here so I'm posting a photo.

Looks like it's been a while. It's hard to see down there...

Does anyone have any experience with something like this?

The only thing I'm finding on the interwebs is timing cover seal. Which sounds easy, but apparently is not.

That has been leaking for a long time.
You need to clean everything down so you can see the gaskets.

Once cleaned take a drive and look for the wet oil spot(s).
It may take a few drives to get the leak going but it will.

Yes timing cover gasket is not an easy fix..... but its a common leak on certain early model years. (growing pains)
Could be an easy fix if something else,..... both required cleaning and discovery.
