Oil Leak

I fired up the yota this morning and let it run for about 5 minutes and noticed that it was leaking oil around the fan at a good rate. When I popped the hood it was all over the belts and the fan. Here is pic of where it looks like it it coming from. Everything is covered so it is hard to pin point. Any Ideas?
Thanks

Yikes....timing chain cover is the first thing I'd look at, as well as the front crankshaft seal and oil pump O-ring gasket.

So this leak is new, when was the last time you looked under the hood.

I know this isn't a new leak, I look under the hood every day when I bring the battery in for the night so that it doesn't drain at -40. I tried to clean most of the oil up to get a better idea of where it was coming from. After firing it up again, it looks to be coming from around the oil pump. Looks like I have my work cut out for me.
