Default Fast Oil Leak from Belt end of Motor

Have a 95 Honda Accord EX, and it just started leaking very fast from the Belt end of the engine. It's really hard to tell where exactly it's coming from. Are there any common issues with a rapid oil leak in this vicinity? It does not appear to be leaking from above, and the belts are not oily, looks to me that it may be coming from behind the lower Belt pulley...

Any suggestions?

Moved to correct forum. Read posting instructions.

Several potential sources under the timing belt covers; camshaft seal, crankshaft seal, forward balance shaft seal (can be ejected by crankcase pressure buildup), and rear balance shaft cover oring. This last item is a notorious leaker w/ age.

Repair of any of these requires removal of timing belt, so labor is similar to timing belt replacement.

good luck

Yep, probable balancer shaft seal oil leak. See TSB:
