Is it not the crank oil seal ? Or have you stripped all timing belt covers etc off already ?

Done all that yesterday because I thought it was coming from behind timing belt cover and cleaned it all up and put it back together and used it over night and checked today and as I looked under it dropped from that spot

A common fault is the crankshaft oil seal that fits into the oil pump , never seen one leak from behind the pump yet Unless it hasn't been sealed properly

Yeah there is no oil inside the covers and I cleaned it all off and when checked this morning it dripped from the back side but if I take it all off to reseal it I'll check the pump and fit a new crank seal anyway
