Default B18b1 oil leak coming from driverside??

Ok. Well this motor is officially killing me with odd crap.

So i have a 95 integra that ive recently swapped in a 96 motor with roughly 75k on it. Changed timing belt water pump. All that good stuff. Drove it for prob 1500 miles when i really started to leak oil. First thought was possibly oil pan gasket. So i changed that. Got a good seal and thought prob fixed. Fired the car back up and it was almost like it got worse. Practically pissing oil at idle. So i search on here.found it could be the crank seal. So i disasembled everything again. Noticed not too much oil on the timing belt or really under the covers. But i pulled the seal anyway and change it out with a new seal. Put everything back together and drives great. Getting 35/mpg w a/c on and has plenty of power. Now prob 3500 miles later i have a leak thats prob been for the last 2000 miles but ive just kept up with oil (prob a qt every 700 miles). Pulled everything back apart yesterday and once again the timing belt is dry. And under the cover is dry. And the oil is all over the driverside. And doesnt go past the alternater at all. Can anyone please help me out here. Im just confused now about where it could be. Ill try and post some pics so u guys and see

Thanks

Use engine degreaser to clean off the engine, [oil] and run the engine, [drive] and constantly check the engine to see where the oil is coming from. 94

Alright. Well I assembled the side minus the timing belt covers. And after 5-10 min of running I was able to see the leak. It was coming from the crank seal. Guess i was figuring I'd see oil over the tb and all over the inside of cover but their wasn't. So I ordered a new oil pump completely since that's the last thing I didn't replace new when I put the motor in. Just want to make sure I have it right. I should grease both inside where the spring is and also around where the crank will be rotating?? Want to do this once and only once if possible.
Thanks
