Default A4 2.8 Oil leak near front - what part?

1999.0 2.8 AHA

I was in the process of tearing down the front end today and found where my oil leak was coming from. Can anyone tell me what gasket or part should be replaced? It is not the valve cover gaskets.

Pics of oil leak:



I also broke a torx bit A little PB Blaster took care of it



And I found out why my CEL came back on..

It's definitely not the VCG. If those are the only two in that area, it's going to be the CCT gasket. I thought the CCT gasket was near the rear of the engine, though
