Oil Leak... little help
So it ran today like a champ, did break in runs, everything was going good, no leaks at first, boost at 5 psi at high rpms (wastegate spring is out) drove about 60 miles, felt great to drive it again... heres a pic of how i was rolling though :P loads of troopers saw me didnt bother me thank god!

then it seems i am leaking oil, not too much, im down .5 quart but i find it dripping down (when i park i find it, but im sure its not leaking while its parked, just dripping off), i think its coming from the lower end, any common places to look that you guys can suggest?
Im hoping its not the front crankshaft seal...

I got a ride in it, runs good considering! The oil leak is from the front of the motor
so the only things it could really be are cam seal, head gasket, crank seal, or oil pan, but there seems to be oil up on the crank pulley so that sort of rules out the oil pan...just for some diagnosis help :P
