it could, the tensioner plug is above the alternator on top of the radiator hose next to/ covered by the power steering pump bracket in the timing case.. you would have removed this to re do the cam timing..

Sometimes oil leaks from the timing cover bolts too......and where the block, head & timing cover meet in a " T " shape on either side can leak oil too.
You'll need to wash it down, and have it running and see how quickly it comes out and where from.....if not take it for a 5min drive and see.

In front I meant sorry for the confusion it was the hose that goes to the radiator from the trans I should have suspected the trans as it was red :/
