Many times the leak originates up at the top of the engine and runs down. It might pay to start looking from the top down.

Which side of the engine does it seem to be coming from? Driver's/ passenger's side?

seems to be driping from the middle but if i had to guess more of the driver side some one said it might be the main seal and that is a big job i guess
