Need info on engine gaskets.

Can anyone tell me all the gaskets on the timing belt side that can leak oil?

I replaced the timing belt 2g 7 bolt then leak at crank seal replaced and now the cam seals started so I figured I would replace them all l. Just bought this 97 Gst it has 144000 miles on it. Yes I did the WP with the belt and all new everything.

I have replaced the
Crank seal
Gasket for oil turbo return
Oil pan gasket
Cam seals as I type this.

Should I take the oil pump off and replace that gasket as well? The clutch side crank seal is leaking to so that's after I get the timing side done first. Sorry for the rant. If you have pics of locations that would be great.

There is an oil seal under the oil pump sprocket ( also known as rear balance shaft) and front balance shaft sprocket. The last timing job on my 99 also included replacing these seals as well. I wouldn't change the gasket on the front case (oil pump) unless it is leaking.

The front balance shaft seal is indicated above by the red arrow. The seal under the oil pump sprocket is shown around the spindle to the right of the crank shaft seal.

There's also an o-ring under the castle plug, just above the oil pump sprocket. But to the same point Nate made about the front case gasket, I wouldn't bother with it unless you're certain it's leaking.
