to get the timing cover off and all i thought u had to unbolt at least the fron of the oil pan, so maybe it is leaking from there.

You can get a hub right throught the dealer,I replaced mine not long ago. When you replace the hub make sure you replace the seal for a good seat. Permatex makes a really make your own gasket goop as far as the irregular fit you mentioned I had to use it one time when I did my friends timing set on his LT1 and it is nice and dry to this day.
