Front Main Seal?

I just finished changing the headgasket on my SPG (upgrade to a 2.1 head and manifold while I was at it). Aside from some small problems, the job went smoothly. Except I fired it up today and several minutes later I noticed what looked like oil being slingshotted off the alternator belts. Uh oh. It's not too much oil, but after several mintues of this, there were lots of little brown specs all over my newly painted valve cover. My question is what is leaking back there and why? It never did this before this project (during which, the car sat for a few weeks). I'm hoping it's something easy, but my pessemistic side tells me either Front Main Seal went out or the oil pump gasket did. Either one of these would be failry unexplainable considering the car hasn't been driven for months, and these problems aorse suddenly. Please help. TIA.
