I don't believe it's the valve cover gasket, it seems to be lower. Is it likely to be the crankshaft oil seal, or is there something else down there that could leak?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks. Does removing the crank seal really require an extractor tool (whatever that looks like)? According to Haynes, if you don't have one you have to remove the oil pump.
I've got the special tool (2084?) to lock the engine, but once the crank pulley is off do I need an extractor tool to get the crank seal out?
A seal removal tool should work. the one I got when I rented the tools for the Tbelt change didn't seem to fit so I used a screwdriver to destroy the old one but a different seal too should work.
Check the depth of the seal before remov> >
