Default oil leak onto waterpump or coming from it>???

recently I've had the calve cover gasket done, spark plugs, filter etc. etc. the shop degreased the motor etc. after a few day the oil leak was gone from the valve cover. I did an oil change recently I haven't replaced the crush washer or bolt. but I highly doubt oil can be leaking that much after 2 hours of be parked. So I popped the hood. then noticed something is leaking around the water pump or from the water pump. I am planning on going back into the shop next week to finish up my tune up (timing belt, thermostat, and waterpump) just trying to see what this problem could be.

It's probably the cam and crank seals leaking. It's also likely that the VVTi pulley is leaking.

Or degreasing the motor sprung a leak around the oil pump itself as well.... I replaced my crank and cam seals along with the VVTI, water pump, blah blah blah, kinda wish I would have gotten the oil pump as well but it's a tad bit more work.... Now, it's the rear seals turn :/
