I recently developed a front engine oil leak on my 350. I think it's leaking through timing chain cover where the crankshaft comes through and attaches to the damper. I've got oil spray all over the passenger side of the engine bay, covering the bottom of my hood, my belts, the lower coolant hose, the bottom of the power steering pump and its hoses, and all of the front right axle and spring coil. I think it's leaking through that hole in the timing chain cover, getting on the damper, and slingshotting the oil all over the place, cause i also have a lot of oil at the bottom on the timing chain cover that seems to not have made it to the damper but just drip down. any ideas as to where exact leak might be and how difficult a fix its gonna be?

are all the bolts in the acessory holes? especially on the right front side of the engine. i'll bet not.

I'm guessing this started right about the same time that somebody hacked the smog pump off?
