what is that ?

The oil pressure sendimg unit is what sends the signal to the gauge in the dash that adjusts the needle showing you the oil pressure. It is part of the oil filter housing and they can leak which would blow oil backwards, possibly towards where our leak is. There are 2 on a 1G, one for the gauge and 1 for the light when the pressure gets really low.
I suggest you get a can or 2 of brake cleaner and clean everything near the area that has the leak and wipe it down with some rags. Then start the motor and watch for the source of the leak. Mark

i closed both of them(i dont have a sensor for the oil gauge, i just put the nut in) and they dont leak that i could see.

other thing, i didnt hook one little line from the wiring to the oil filter housing or something like that there (didnt have enough time)

The wire goes to both the sending units. If you don't use one then it goes to the other but like you said they are not the leak. Do the brake or carb cleaner and run the motor watching for the leak to develop. Mark
I just had to change cam seals because I did not put new ones in when I changed my HKS 272's out for crower stage 4's. Did that and now just a drop on the filter and a bit here and there but nothing hitting the garage floor. mark

Im guessing its a leak from the frontcase. Was everything torqued correctly? Just clean the area and look look for where its coming from.

overtorqued!!!, how far i can go by taking parts from the driver side(never did it without taking engine out)

Please explain! Some sarcasm? How bad is the leak? Bad enough to have it fixed even if the motor needs to be removed to do the repair? man I hate leaks and feel for 'ya. I wanted to pour a can of stop leak into mine butn the turbo kept me from doing that. It's a pain working on the drivers side with the minimal room that is there. We did my seals the quick but dangerous way by zip tying the gears to the belt, couldn't remove the tension either. Two of us got it done in 2.5 hours.
As I said I feel for you and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers while in thanks and worship today. Mark

Im having trouble understanding what you are saying here...

You forgot a bolt, did the same thing, now you need a new timing belt good luck. Check for any bolt holes you missed. Good luck bro

Andy why do you believe a missed bolt caused the timing belt to go? I can see how missing a bolt could cause a leak but ruin the timing belt? How? Mark

Did you check the ballance shaft tenchioner bolt hole? This needs to have a shorter bolt or but the tensioner and stock bolt back on.
