leaky cam seal, leaky pully gear seal, could be any of those things...and odds are you will probably have to take off your timing belt again...

It's probably your cam seal. Same thing happened to me. I had oil all over the front of my engine. Replaced the stock plastic POS with this:

Sorry it say, but if your timing belt has a lot of oil on it you need to replace it too!!
