Squealing noise while throttling and misc wet spot

This guy with the 2.7 had a timing cover leak, look like yours?

Another pic

 

If you can picture the circled spot on the front of the engine, where 2 seprete things are bolted together like in the photo ( I’m not to mechanical knowledgeable yet) it’s a slightly damp spot the size of a palm.

 

Now, can you circle where he touched you on this 2.7 motor here? I feel we are just getting closer and closer to this crank seal lol

 

Very helpful!
If this is how the engine sits in the engine bay (assuming it is)
It is on one of the green dots, I belive on the middle one. There is somthing that bolts on the bottom correct, so where the dots are, is a seal or gasket between another big metal part

 

Alright that big metal piece would be the oil pan. That gasket is simply the oil pan gasket. So if i were you, i would get some brakleen and a rag and clean the wet spot up really good. It is kinda too early to diag from an area that wide. I am doubtful that the oil pan gasket would be leaking so my bets still on that front crank oil seal. So clean it up, check on it in a week and see if its easier to pinpoint the leaking spot. If it is more directly under the crank pulley (you can seal the crank seal in that pic) then just get that oil seal replaced nice and easy. Both of them are simple fixes even if it is the oil pan so dont worry about it. It is not leaking enough to freak out about it yet. If everything else checks out, and the frames good. BUY ITTTTTT

 

Thank you for the input, greatly appreciated.

 

no problem man, hope i was able to narrow it down enough for future reference.
