I had a small leak in the past but it is getting worse. Seems to be comming from bottom front of engine and blows back on the pan, just no visual access to see where its comming from. Could this be from timing cover?

I vote intake manifold, very common. Not that it could not be the other things but I would look there first and then proceed down.
 
It was the intake manifold on mine it took me about three hours to fix.
Welcome to :CAC

Get some spray brake cleaner at advance auto and spray all around the front of the engine until it is clean. A trick I use is to dust the area with talcum powder and drive the car. If it is the intake manifold you will see a wet spot in the powder or around the valve covers. Or in other words the leak should show were it is.
