Oil Leak, 3.4L V6 Front of Engine. Developed Quickly

Helo All,

My '99 3.4L 4WD Tacoma Automatic with 220k miles developed a leak that's flowing pretty good. Front of engine. Oil level in engine is down half a quart, and she's never burned oil. Hard to tell where exactly, but it's dripping around front of oil pan and the plastic wire guide there, so SEEMS like either oil pan or somewhere above it. I changed the water pump and front main seal about six months ago, so I DOUBT that's it. Cam seals have also been changed, like maybe 4 years ago. The skid plates been off for a while, but I haven't hit anything with the pan, I don't think. Do oil pan gaskets just start leaking like that? I've attached some pics. Looks like the oil pressure switch is intact, so not that

Any input greatly appreciated!!!
