Message	With that much oil leaking, there should be a pretty obvious trail to follow. If it were one of the seals I would expect to see an oil stream from the bottom of the seal down the block to the bottom of the timing covers. Are you positive the leak was coming from underneath the timing covers? Did the timing belt have any oil on it?
