What could this be?

It's been a while since I did the timing belt project but how did you determine the belt tensioner is moist? It lives behind the timing cover and not easily visible. The crank position sensor isn't too far away from the main seal so that could mean that the main seal is seeping, but that's a WAG at this point. The other clue is that the front of the oil pan is moist which could point the finger to the front seal. See if you can shine some light behind the front crankshaft pulley and look for oil seepage.
