Difficult to tell from photos, best idea is clean it all off and run the engine and see where it starts from. Popular causes from the top down;
Rocker cover gasket
Camshaft oil seals (there are two one on the shaft and one on the plate)
Headgasket [rarely]
Oil filter housing and or pressure relief valve.
Oil pressure switch
Sump gasket

As above, clean then tie up the viscous fan (stops blowing the leak/drips about). Take a look at the crankcase breather L/H side of engine around half way along on lower block.. it's a tube heading upwards around 25mm ish.
