Possible oil leak?

Hey guys, I have a little issue with my Evo 9 there's a leak on the front right side? I don't know if it's just oil from the filter but I haven't really gotta time to take good look at it.
But anyone had this problem before

There is also seals behind the timing cover that may be cause for that leak as well. Do you see oil on the bottom of the timing cover or near the oil pan? It's hard to say with out looking at it and you may even have to clean it and run dye through the engine to see exactly where the leak is coming from. Do you have a pic of underneath the engine?

check your cam gear seals, if they leak you won't see the oil until almost the bottom of the motor.

wipe it all down real good and jack the car up and than start it and see where the oil comes from if possible. And if possible try and take the plastic timing covers off Top and bottom if you see oil coming from the plastic.
