Default oil leak

I have a nasty oil leak. Started suddenly. Thought it was the upper timing cover. Replaced the gasket but I noticed the plastic cover doesn't push evenly across the gasket. At first, I could see more of the gasket between the bolts than I thought I should. Over time, it squished down better.

I'm thinking the whole cover should be replaced along with the gasket and seal.

Any thoughts on other likely places to look?

I saw one recommendation to replace the entire front cover, gaskets and the o-ring behind the cam adjuster.

Possibly, another candidate. Could it be from the Engine Oil Cooler gasket? Can't tell how hard this is to fix.
