The front main seal,can cause this as well. Pull the radiator,Crank pully,pop it out fit the new greased item in and away you go,and reseal the bolts around the timming cover as well.

Just the front ... or is it coming from the driver's side front top corner????
It's most likely coming from the cam chain tensioner ... and leaking onto the pulleys near there and spraying everywhere. Making it a pain to pin point.
