It sounds a little bit strange the way you describe it if you in fact have seen the leak coming out from under somewhere in the chain tensioner area but that the oil find it's way around the top of the engine and dribbles down behind the power steering pump area.
The common head gasket leak at the back always dribbles the oil down the side of cover and more to the rear of engine. And that headgasket leak does not usually leak actively like you put it but more seeps over long period of times and more so under turbo boost.
Are you sure you don't have a hole in the timing cover from a failed water pump?
