1990 240 oil leak 200 1990

I notice a major oil spill under the car after running the car for about 10 minutes. There was oil spray I assume spread from the fan on the front of the timing belt cover and other areas including the bottom of the lid. I replaced and it is not leaking the valve cover gasket a couple of months ago. I checked the flame trap but, it was all clear! I removed the filter and looked for any damage but, there was non. I drained the oil and it seemed to be down about 2 qts. I dropped the belly pan and there was oil in the bottom of that. Up to this time there was no oil leaks. I know there are a couple of seals under the timeing belt which may be the cause. I can not see the exact area that the oil is leaking. I would think with this much oil the leak would be easy to locate. Before removing the timing cover to get a better look any ideas?
