There is a stupid little double lipped rubber seal at the front timing cover. It's easily replaceable if your in there. Very common leak of sometimes "a lot" of oil on these cars. Just have to check, check and re-check that its seated properly while your seating/tightening the cover or it WILL leak.
I used a very very tiny amount of moly grease on the o-ring between the water pump and block to give it a little stickyness while not compromising anything. Its very hard to keep that o-ring seated while positioning the pump into place.
