Re: 22RE Oil leak somewhere.......?

Jeez, dude.
Uhm, my first guess would either be the timing cover, or the front crank seal. If it's spraying like that, it's definitely hitting the pulley and flying off of that. Plus, the alternator is right next to that whole bottom end area. I'd wash the engine off again, then actually watch the pulley area real closely right after you start it. Get a flashlight if you need to, but if you can catch it right when it's coming out, that'll help big time. Once it's soaked, you're out of luck.
