Oil leak '96 2.2 motor

I have a '96 Camry with the 2.2 4cyl that has recently developed a fairly bad oil leak. It only leaks when running, but will leak almost a teaspoon of oil at idle for about 5 minutes. The leak is dripping from the passenger side lower rear corner(by the timing case) of the motor. Yesterday, I jacked the car up and used brake cleaner to clean everything off. Let it run for about 5 minutes and oil started to accumulate around the lower portion of the timing case cover. Since I'm working on my back, I can't really tell if the leak is at the timing cover or above it. Are there any components above that area that could account for the leak?

thanks in advance,
Mike
