My wife got home from the store and after the car sat not running for just a few mins I noiticed a puddle of oil under the passanger side (the front of the engine) there is a lot of oil coating the front of the engine and I can not tell where the oil leak is. I do it is not comeing from the value covers, the oil is below them by a couple of inches on both sides. Is there a gasket or seal that might be leaking? Thanks for any and all help.

Most likely the front main seal, you will have to remove the balancer to get to it.
