Severe Oil Leak at front cover, most likely source?

[LS1Fan]

Hi all,

I'm new to this site and recently purchased a '94 Camry with the 2.2 engine.
There is a severe oil leak on the front of the engine. Oil is running out from the bottom of the plastic timing cover. Any guesses on what would be leaking this much oil at once?
Cam seal, Crank seal or Oil pump?

I've replaced the front timing cover as it was cracked and also the valve cover gasket.

Thanks in advance!

Could be the crank and/or cam seals. They can leak when the engine is running and also leak residue oil after the engine is shut off.
