That looked like mine...... about a year ago.

My main culprits were the camshaft gasket, oilcooler gasket (external oil leak, thank goodness no coolant mixing with oil), trasmission oil leak (cooler), coolant leak, oil pan gasket etc............you name it.............. but no front seals! go figure.

Looking at your pics I would definitely guess the camshaft gasket has seen better days..........but if you havent changed your front seals, that would definitely be a place to start.

Use BRAKE CLEANER ............comes in aerosol cans........works the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Make sure engine is cool

Once you have it all clean, it will slowly become apparent where the leaks come from...

The problem with all that oil all over the place, it has a tendancy to brake down rubber components (motor mounts, bushings, hoses ....etc), so if you keep it like that it just causes something else to break in the future.

THe blue plug is the drain plug....and it broke on me!! and to make matters worse.........the plastic on the radiator broke as well........had to use some plastic weld (worked great) and replaced the drain spout by tapping a new one in (metal).

Good luck
