I just went through this. I did a routine replacement of the timing belt, water pump, pulleys, and seals. Oil leaked from the front crankshaft area. I took it apart again. There was a lot of oil in the timing belt area. I replaced the crank seal. Oil still leaked. I took it apart again. There was still a lot of oil in there but I *think* I could see some little trails of oil inside the black metal cover, running down from the cams. I replaced the cam seals. I've been driving it to work for a week and the pan is still dry.
