Oil Leak Front Upper Motor

[landtoy80]

I have found a leak but can't find where its coming from.
It looks to be near or at the water pump and.
I fixed the dist oil leak with a rebuilt dist and no leak there.
I replace the valve cover gasket not long ago.
What would leak around the water pump area.
The leak is dripping through the power steering pump bracket but the PS pump is not leaking.
Oil is also running down to the front part of the oil pan where the arch is.

I switch to Rotella T syn and thought the oil pan was leaking oil so I switch Val MaxLife Syn hopping the Maxlife would seal the leak but its not the pan that is leaking.

cam seals? and probably front main seal at the pan

Cam seal? since u can see it at the water pump area. Could also be crank seal otherwise....

I have a timing belt waiting for install, guess, if its the cam seals, it will be part of the timing belt replacement.
Unless the Maxlife fixes the leak (wish)

take some pics, sounds like the same leak I have. I was planning on getting that fixed at the same time I get the MHG installed.

if you havent already done so replace the valve cover screws with bolts when you pull them back off.

Yeah I had a leak similar to that except it was on a track day and oil was everywhere but mainly around the water pump, power steering pump area. It turned out to be the cam seals but they ended the day at the track.
