If it's a seal in the timing cover, it should be fairly easy to detect from under the car. After I replaced my opti, the water pump drive seal was leaking like a ****. It was pretty easy to detect that at least one of the seals was leaking by laying under the car with the engine running. Oil was streaming down the front of the timing cover.

could be oill pan gasket.
could be timing cover seal, or front main seal leaking.
get under it and look, thats what i would do. oil is like water, its not usually leaking from where you think it is. you have to trace it.
