A game of ... help me find the oil leak!

I just started my new engine up. All was well, drove it around the block. All was well. Took it for a little longer drive 3/4 of a mile or so. And by the time I got home I saw no oil pressure. It seems all my oil managed to leak out in this short period of time.

There was a fine mist on the drivers side windshield (no hood on). It was also thick around the front of the engine (mechanical front, not the front of the car), the axle, oil filter housing and even a bit up in the plug wires. I put in a balance shaft elimation kit and converted to a 90 oil filter housing. I think the leak is behind the lower timing belt cover. I'm going to have to pull things apart to try and track this leak down, but does anyone have any likely culprits? What should I be looking for?
