Default 1996 Civic oil leak..what else can it be?

Oil leaking from drivers side of engine (timing belt side). It has new valve cover gasket, V-tec solenoid gasket, front crank seal and cam seal. I have the timing belt cover off but can't pinpoint it. It is definitely on the side of the engine.

Is it ok to start it with all belts off the pulley? Gotta get the oil flowing after all the oil was wiped off..

Thanks

Looks like the oil pan gasket....leaking directly below the crankshaft.

Possibly, the oil pump seal is leaking if not the oil pan gasket.

Without many outstanding pictures, this will remain a random guessing game.
