Default Engine oil leak and P/S pump pulley - 92 Dynasty, 3.3L

Two questions
Chrysler Dynasty 1992, 3.3L

1)Engine oil leak - Over the past couple months I've notice a leak (thats
getting worst) from the engine. It isnt coming from the heads or head
covers, so it isnt a gasket or leak from the top of the engine. I have
changed out the oilpan gasket as it looked the leak was originating from
there. After the gasket was changed, the leak continued and would come out
from around where the bell housing and engine would meet. The flywheel is
dry, so I would assume it would not be a main crank seal at the rear of the
engine. Any ideas as to where this leak could be coming from?

2) Power Steering pump pulley - Has anyone ever had to get a pulley changed
out on this pump? I changed out the water pump last weekend and since the
belt was off, I noticed the power steering pump pulley was loose on the pump
shaft. I also noticed that it was plastic, and would account for it to
wobble on the shaft due to wear. Have these always come with plastic
pulleys, or is there a metal pulley you can get for it?

Thanks,
Tom

I once had a leak from the timing case on my 3.3, that appeared as
though it was coming from the oil pan. It took the dealer three tries
to figure it out. Luckily, the warranty covered it.
