Oil leaks - Mystery

91 talon TSI awd turbo.
Stock rebuilt motor
BS removed

We used the wrong RTV on the oil pan the first time around ( recently changed back to the correct shit, black RTV, oil resistant).

The Timing belt is being "soaked" by oil. At first we thought it was the oil pan because we had the wrong RTV on it but we fixed that, let it cure, put in oil.. ran it and blah, leaks probably more than before.

We built this along time ago. We might have used RTV somewhere else that is causing this problem. The oil is all over on the front case side of the motor.

My question is, where have people have this issue come from? I know Nash had some sort of leak from the front case, maybe it's a similar issue?

The oil is everywhere so I really am having a hard time figuring this out. It seems as if all of the shops around here are out of town at the shootout so some ideas / pointers would be great. Thanks.
