It could be the bottom corner of the front cover. The seal/gasket might be broken or a piece is missing and when your oil level is above the oil pan/housing level, it will leak out. I had a mazda reman that leaked all over the place after a few months and when I looked for the leak I noticed that a piece of the seal was sticking out from the side. If this is the case, you will have to remove everything in front to get to it.....a pain in the ass. You should try to get a replacement gasket out of metal instead of paper.
