Yes, it could be from the front cover. That's not very common, though.

There are a couple of tests you can do to narrow it down. Use a cooling system test kit to check for pressure changes. Autozone will loan you the kit for free.

Also, you can buy a coolant test kit that checks the coolant for by products of combustion.
