Oil leak on fresh 4g63t - YouTube

I wasnt sure where to post this but I took a video of my car running I have a oil leak coming from the front cover and im pretty sure its coming from behind the oil pump pulley its spraying out in a fine mist and is causing oil to get onto my belt. I just wanted a second opinion on it before I go tearing it back apart to change my hole entire front cover.
 
I am going to pull the timing belt and change the pump seal then going to prime it with a drill to see if its still leaking. If it isnt then problem solved if so then whelp ill just swap the new front case onto it.

Well pulled my plugs and they are some of the blackest looking plugs I have ever seen....
Here are some pictures of them.

Also another vid this one is of my oil pump gear and the amount of play in it is scary to say the least so I am swapping out to my spare front cover with only 1500 miles on that one along with all new seals. Hopefully this time when it goes back together it wont be coming apart until something blows up from trying to push the 1g big rods a little to much :hellyeah:..... My goal is going to be 550awhp...

P.S those plugs only have start up and idle time on them altogether I would say less than 15min....
