Front crank seal

I believe my front crank seal is leaking. It's not coming front the cps but is running down under the balancer and down the front of the oil pan. It's also all over the right (passenger side) of the engine wiring. It is under the water pump as well. The dampener doesn't look like its covered in oil though. But it does look like oil has been on it. I'm loosing a lot of oil all over the oil pan and axle. Is there anything else that could be leaking in that area? It looks like the front crank seal is bolted the front of the engine? I don't want to get it apart and have it be something stupid. Thanks.

How high up on the engine is the oil coming from.There is an oil gally plug on each head that can leak. I had one that is behind the alternator that the o-ring gave out and started leaking.
