Hey guys, I got an oil leak. Its coming from the timing belt area. The gasket from the bottom timing belt cover is stilling out like an ear. There's no oil there in that section though right? its kinda weird, and I don't know a whole lot yet but any advice? the pictures below. Thanks!

I changed the valve cover gasket earlier cause I thought it was coming out the back. But i found out the spark plug bolts were screwed on good but I still changed it and resealed it. I don't see any major oil on the back of the valve cover, but I did see a VERY small spec of oil on the edge that was fresh and wet. It only drips when I turn the engine on. But even when I do that I don't see anything coming out the back of the valve cover nor the spark plug holes.
