Please help me pinpoint Oil Leak PICS Included Options

[6G96GT]

Hey Guys,

I've developed an oil leak and can't figure out where it would be coming from? Here's a pic taken from the passenger side of my front tire inner wheel area. The red circled area is the focal point. The red arrows indicate that the oil starts coming out from where the red arrow on the right is, then flows down in the direction of the green arrow. The left red arrow indicates where the oil pools up before it drips onto the pavement.

The oil flows along that metal edge if you know what I mean. Also, it's a slow leak. I prolly add about 1/5th of a quart every week, once a week. It makes about a quarter sized diameter oil spill on the ground overnight.

- Couple additional things...the seal on the pan-to-block is not wet. The areas behind the black where the cat would be is not wet. Only the area pointed at is wet and it's definitely coming from the area where the right red arrow indicates. I wiped this area several times with my thumb and it just keeps coming as the green arrow indicates.

Any ideas where it's coming from? I'm no mechanic but I'd like to have a clue before I drop it off at the mechanic before I he gets into it.

PIC ONE JUST A REFERENCE WITHOUT DRAWING...



PIC TWO - SAME PIC BUT WITH DRAWING...

Take the timing covers off and run the engine. Its either leaking from the front crankshaft seal, the camshaft seal, or the oilpump gasket. What you are looking it in labor is being charged for a timing belt change.
