Question oil leak

Oil leak looks like its coming from around the water pump where the pump meets the block. recently changed the power steering pump and had to remove brackets in front of motor in order to remove and install the pump also put a new seal on the oil pan as I thought thats where it was leaking. I dont have a manual so wondering if there is a oil port around the water pump. I'll investigate further, but some input from you all would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

The oil is coming from the timing cover. To replace the timing cover gaskets and all o-ring seals, you'll need to remove the oil pan too and replace the gasket.
