Damn oil leak

OK
I had a broken clutch fork so since I had the tranny out I also replaced the oil pan gasket because I had a oil leak that I thought was coming from the pan. Well one of my oil leaks was coming from the pan, but I still have another it is coming from the front passenger side of the engine. It looks to be right at the corner.
Does anybody know where it could be leaking from?

Thanks

Well what does it take to fix this leak?

I hope you are not going to say tearing the hole front of the engine apart.

It only takes like two bolts and o rings or something. You need to dam your oil leak (heh, pun).
