Built Engine - Mysterious Oil Leak? Front Of Motor

braydo25

Hey guys, I have a twin turbo 370z with a built motor that has about 2,000 miles on it or so.

I'm starting to get a decent oil leak from the front of the engine somewhere - it's enough where after 50 to 100 miles of driving there's oil residues all down the bottom / underside of the car.

I can't seem to see where it's coming from as the timing cover is painted black.

I thought it was the front main seal, but it seems it's maybe coming from higher than that, as there's dirt / grit build up on the cover above it which I presume is also from the oil - it's also possible that the pulley is slinging oil up if it is that..

My skid plate looks like it has a spray of oil film on it, so it's possible oil is somehow hitting either radiator fan and getting thrown around, or dripping onto crank pulley and being thrown around.

I was able to look at the valve cover gaskets and those seem fine. Is there anything else on the front timing cover between the front main seal and the valve cover gaskets it could be that I should check?
