Why is it leaking?

RE: Why is it leaking?
Have you swapped the gaskets on the oil pan or timing cover recently? If so, did you use a torque wrench when re-assembling and torque to appropriate specs?
Many leaks at the front if the pan are caused by overtightening the oil pan, and even when changing the timing cover gasket, because you still remove the front bolts from the oil pan. Overtightening can cause the pan gasket suface to warp or smush out the gasket, leaving just enough space for a leak.
If you have not changed those gaskets, well then, its time.....
Good luck.
