Is oil dripping from the bottom of the engine? The leaks look like they've been building up for awhile. Meaning it looks like a lot of dirt caked in with the oil, the leaks dont look very fresh. I think your best bet is going to be pressure washing or degreasing the engine then run it and look for leaks.

the first thing i would do is to clean that MESS UP. then check after a weak to see were its comming from. my guess would be the intake valley the rubber or cork gaskets are known to push out most people just use a bead of silicone instead of the gasket.
