This leak may also be the front crank seal, it looks a lot like it's comin out the blowby tube when it leaks.

How does a leaky front crank seal make oil come out of the blowby tube? I'm not following that one...

The leaky front seal throws oil everyplace all over the front of the motor so you can't tell where it's comin from and the first thing we all think of is the overflow.
