Timing chain cover leak?

Timing chain cover leak?
Hello everyone. The time has finally come for me to fix all the leaks this car has. I have done most but my main problem currently is the timing chain cover gasket? The car has been leaking for years and i thought it was only the vavle cover gasket but i was wrong. Has anyone had this leak here before? Or could it be something else going on?
Another sign when this first happened could have been when one of my bearing came loose and fell off the car while i was driving due to all the oil. I just replaced it and kept driving. But 2 years later now i noticed my idle tensioner was shaking bad and one bearing rattling again.

I just watched a youtube video of the oil gallery gasket replacement on a G37 and wow that looks like alot of work. They did it by removing the bumper cover and radiator/condenser and all that from the front to have good access. Wonder how much shops charge to do that job. This guy was doing it at 100k miles. I'm at 293k and wonder if mine needs to be done. I have oil leaks and assume it's the valve cover but maybe I'm in the same bucket as this poster....

I’m still only at around 128k miles.. purchased new… engine still doesn’t use any noticeable oil and have yet to find a gasket weep, leak, or seep

So i got everthing apart and it looks like my power steering o rings are leaking everwhere as well as you can see in the picture. I got new pullys and tensioner. Now i am waiting for the gasket for the passanger side cover. I also just hit 270000 miles 😅 car drives amazing still.
I am wondering if the power steering leak is what was causing oil everywhere due to it splashing on the pullys?

So i replaced the two gaskets and new lower hose and found out that my power steering line was leaking bad. When i took the line off to inspect i found out that it was missing a copper washer on the bottom of the banjo bolt. Apon looking further i seen a copper washer sitting next to the front strut bar. So i think when i got my water pump worked on years ago they forgot to put the bottom washer back on.
So i am wondering if all that was just power steering fluid 😅
