Oil Leak...Pan or timing cover?

My car has an oil leak, dosent seem to huge, a few drops if parked over night. But getting under it lately for my cam install, ive noticed the whole underbody of the car is coated in oil.


I imagine its either the Pan gasket or the timing cover gasket. Is there any good way to tell which it is? I havent taken off the timing cover yet, but it has a bunch of RVT sealant around the bottem, could that mean a torn torn pan gasket?


Im going to replace the timing cover gasket reguardless, but need to order a pan gasket if im gunna do that also. Dont really wanna tear off the oil pan and find out the gasket is fine tho.
