R55 Oil leak help?

Hey everyone,
I just pressed in a new front crankshaft seal (with the specialized press tool) on my 2010 Clubman (non-turbo) only to test fire the engine and see the drip, drip, drip oil leak continuing. The leak seems to be coming from the area where the belt tensioner bolts on but I can't seem to locate it. It's dripping pretty fast so it definitely has to be addressed. It's so tight in there that I can't see where it might be coming from! Again, it's on the passenger side of the non-turbo engine, somewhat to the left of the crankshaft pulley/dampener. Anyone have any luck with the green florescent oil?
Also, I had a dealer replace the valve cover gasket about a year ago, and will check the torque on the bolts, but doubt that's the issue. Any other areas prone to leaks on that side of the engine?
Any ideas on how to investigate this would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
Jay
