Oil leak 2.2 motor

I have a '96 Camry with the 2.2 4cyl that has recently developed a fairly bad oil leak. It only leaks when running, but will leak almost a teaspoon of oil at idle for about 5 minutes. The leak is dripping from the passenger side lower rear corner(by the timing case) of the motor. Yesterday, I jacked the car up and used brake cleaner to clean everything off. Let it run for about 5 minutes and oil started to accumulate around the lower portion of the timing case cover. Since I'm working on my back, I can't really tell if the leak is at the timing cover or above it. Are there any components above that area that could account for the leak?

thanks in advance,
Mike

Oil pump, front main seal, or the oil pan.
