Default Renix 4.0 oil leak

I have a oil leak a big one... Came out of no where... It is not the oil filter apt... and it is not the Vc gasket... I thought it was the Vc Gasket so I changed that.... there is a big puddle right under the front bumper it seems... it is all over my front axles inner wheels etc... amd ot look like it is coming from the motor... the rubber right under the motor is covered as well... and help would be great...

Timing cover seal? Getting slung around by the harmonic balancer? Rubber deal? You mean splash shield?

Need a puller for the balancer. I would replace teh seal and balancer. The balancers deteriorate over time, and the seal surface on the balancer is probably FUBAR anyway.
