Front main seal or front cover gasket perhaps.

Document ID: 371633 in the service manual shows you how to do it. The seal itself isn't hard to replace, getting crap like the harmonic balancer is though.

Are you sure it is oil? You said it seemed like it? I would check and double check to make sure it is oil. Typically the main seal doesn't get oil all over the belts. But the water pump seal leaking will. Could it be dark, gunky coolant?
