What's causing this leak?

Changed the oil 2 days ago and degreased the area seen. Today it's like that(the lighter, fresh oil). Apologies for bad lighting or huge photo, using my phone.

Can't see any other oil on, around or under the engine. Safe to say that's the crank seal?

I thought mine was the crank seal but it was still the camshaft seal. There's only one place for the oil to go and its down so thats where you see it :lol:

Also theres a spot on the motor looking at it from the side, that is the backside of all the stuff on the front of the motor, and if you see oil there then that will suggest camshaft seal too, its a higher point than where the crank is.

That logic makes sense.. just coz oil is at the bottom Doesn't mean it's coming from the lowest possible seal.

Sigh I really just want to lift the engine and change every seal, gasket and bearing. Also clean each lifter.. That would be my dream weekend Haha
