Oil leak

There is an oil leak that is pretty bad on my car dripping from the front to the back, it looks like while i have it son jack stands there is oil dripping from the front of the engine and running along the top of the oil pan, coming to one point and dripping on the ground

To replace the front cover gasket what parts am i gonna' have to remove and what o-rings and gaskets do i need to buy other than the obvious front cover gasket? The engine has 62k on it.

Damn, mines leaking oil pretty bad, too. But I think it's the OMP. I gotta get a new one for mine. Mazdatrix says ~$250. D:
