Question oil leak question

I am new to the forum... I have a 98 24 valve and have an oil leak that has progressively gotten worse. It is coming from the drivers side of the engine towards the front. behind the fuel sending unit. Any ideas of what seal this may be? Thanks in advance, JT

Power steering to vacuum pump seal is a very common leak. Its a easy fix too. I have seen them leak around the tappet cover gasket.

sorry, I am talking about where the fuel line splits into 6 lines on the drivers side of the engine towards the front on top
