Default Oil leak

Hey guys, I've been trying to track down an oil leak in our recently completed 383 for a couple days now. Its leaking pretty good, enough to coat the underside pretty good. Its definitely coming from the passenger side, towards the front of the motor. Pan gasket looks fine, the top end is completely dry. Looks to be coming from right above the AC compressor. Timing cover maybe?

Thanks for any ideas.

Clean if off completely, start it and run it until you find where the leak is coming from.
