Oil leak from timing belt side

Theres an oil leak coming from the timing belt side of the engine. It looks like its coming out near the tensioner. I was told that oil can actually leak out of the tensioner bolt, but there is a fix for it. The leak is pressurized, as the revs go up the leak becomes heavier. Any ideas?? Its not the valve cover and not the oil pan. what can leak between there???

Thanks for the help!!!!!

If this engine has no balance shafts there is a pulley/tensioner bolt that needs rtv on its threads or it will bleed oil.

Possibly a seal? Maybe the front cover seal, or oil pan?
