Oil Leak HELP!

Ever since i did the work on my car, which was a complete rebuild (pistons/rods/timging belt/camshafts/turbo/clutch/all the supporting mods for all of that). Now i have an only leak on the right(passenger side) of the car. It seems that it is from the Alternator down from there, Its not an insaine oil leak but i do see a few drips and the bottom of the car is half way covered. anyone got any ideas? If you could help that would be great thanks guys!

Could be coming from a bunch of places. They make a dye that you can add to your oil which will show under UV light allowing you to pinpoint the leak easily. Google it

Anyone is welcome to correct me but I think there is the bolt on the tensioner pulley that goes into an oil gallery. Anyway, there is a bolt in that area that requires RTV on the threads.
