if its not the oil seal it is prob the front cover gasket which are known for blowing out under boost.if this is the problem get a metal gasket instead of the paper and you wont have the problem again .this is about six hours labor

wow that sucks.......you started the car after you see an incredible about of oil leaking from it..............you are a brave man.

didn't you recently do an oil change? check the plug and the new filter. i know neither of these are near the main pully system but its just an idea
