oil leak

For the past 2 days ive been wondering why there is oil spray all over the front of my engine after I drive a good ways. Then tonight I notice a large puddle underneath front of engine, and theres oil puddled up in the crankshaft pulley, so i looked and there are drips of oil coming from the center bolt on the pulley, is it even possible to leak there. Im really irritated because i spent a ton o money on this new engine and it seems like something messes up every day. I know there is a slight leak on the corners of the front intake seal but i dont know how that could puddle up on/in the pulley.

Might want to check the timing chain cover gasket and the oil seal in the timing chain cover. That could be where your getting the oil on the center bolt.
