Question Front of engine oil leak, what seals should I replace?

Super long story short, ran a breather at the road course and it wasn't enough, popped the dip-stick and everything. Also pushed a seal out, major front oil leak, but I can't see it when the car is sitting still. I tried cleaning it all with degreaser and watching over and over. It's somewhere in the front of the engine and it hit's the alt and then gets thrown everywhere.

What gaskets can I replace, front cover, oil pan, what else is there crank pulley gasket? I'm assuming for all of these I have to drop the oil pan? I'd like to order all of the possibilites and then just tear into it and replace them all.

Timeing cover gasket, oil pan gasket, and crank pully seal (in the timeing cover).
I would start with those and go from there.
