Well i saw an oil leak, near the timmingbelt cover.
Took it off, and i saw this.
What would be the problem?
Front seal?? or bad oilpump cover?

There really isn't enough there to tell for sure what it is, but you might check your oilpan gasket for leaks and possibly a leak higher up that has drained down. Does it leak more with the engine on?

I washed the whole engine with purple blaster,dry it, and when i start the car you can see clearly the oil coming from behind the timing trigger plate.

Sounds like the front main seal is leaking on you given that information. :(
