12a oil leak front cover?

Fired up my 12a today for the season and found an oil leak at the right front of the engine. Almost looks like it is coming from behind the water pump. Any ideas?

Front main seal yes, probably. Just looked to be coming from above the main, behind the water pump. No doubt oil could be thrown up there. Just wondering if I am missing any other possibilities.
Thanks!
