The oil pan may be leaking. There is no gasket on 4cylinder engine.
Also the timing cover may be leaking. Again no gasket. Try to tighten the bolts. Unfortunatelly these bolts are torx and you cannot apply enough torque before the bolts break.
Other cause of leak is front oil seal. These is easy to replace if you need to.
I recently had to do an engine overhaul, and after a week of driving I noticed heavy oil leak from that side of the engine. I checked all the above but did not fix my leak. After further investigation it turned out that the oil was comming all the way down from the head. The timing chain tensioner was not sealed properly to the head and I was loosing oil from there. I now have fixed it. My suggestion is to positively identify the source of leak in order to save you from unnecessary work on the engine.
