JonA is correct, the front crank or front main seal is very likely to be the first leaking culprit. Make certain to get the oil pump drive gear, front main seal (correct size) and O O ring. Follow the installation instructions to the letter. If the main seal is installed right it work fine, if not it leaks.
Here's something that impacted my experience, the key on the front of my crankshaft was a feather key not the woodruff that most people talk about.
You can recognize a feather key quite readily by the radius ends. Don't even try to pry or pull this thing out, that will be a waste of time. Get yourself a source of compressed air, a 1/4" Air Angle Die Grinder, model 32046 from Harbor Freight. The bit is a 1/4" drive 1/8" diameter carbide burr. SGS #12725. Carefully grind out one side of the key until it can be remove with side cutters. If it is a woodruff key it should rock right out of the slot. These feather keys are a tight interference fit, essentially they become welded in place(my opinion).
