Let the car idle for a good 30 mins and then drove it around as normal, maybe put about 50 miles on it and I see no signs of any oil leaking anymore. I will continue to monitor it for the next few days.

Ok, guys, so I've put about 100 miles now and the leak has not come back. I resealed the timing cover gasket using JB Weld blue RTV which seems to have fixed the problem. I did open up the other m103 I have sitting in my garage and I noticed that there is one bolt hole that lines up with a hole on the Y- shaped bracket which goes all the way through. This hole has an o-ring on it. So as an FYI if anyone happens to see oil leaking from front of engine, you may either need to check front crank seal or the small hole there. Also, when looking ant my spare 103, the front lower engine cover that goes over the chain and tensioner is just mated to the block with no gasket? no seal or anything? I did not see any evidence of a gasket or seal there also I did not see any oil seepage so I guess it doesn't need it, but I just found that odd. Thanks everyone.
