Default Oil leak issues

Hey guys.
I own a 20 year old 1.1 forte sort of inherited it, owned from new, it’s getting into it’s final years, or rather that point where I’m not handy enough to do any repairs so costs start to add up.
Not driven much through lock down, once every other week, was planning on part exchanging this year then covid19 shut up shop and, then I go and find a dark oil blob just off centre on the drivers side.
Serviced yearly mid-June. Last MOT was January failed on a few things for it's age, nothing oil related was picked up on then.

Attached a few pictures taken from shoving my hand underneath the car basically, the angles are not great sadly as car is currently in my garage.

I honestly barely know what I’m looking at, wondered if someone could give me a heads up on what/where it might be?

It has dripped slightly onto the timing belt which I know is bad, it seems to be coming from above the drive shaft/cv joint that goes into the gearbox? And coming from just above at the rear of the engine block? Again, no idea what I’m looking at really.
I’ve lost no engine oil, but I’ve not driven it much.

Thinking about wiping off the oil where it’s collected and then maybe taking it out for a drive, but super concerned about the timing belt now, seems to be all outter belt and it’s splattered a bit off but can't see any specs on the teeth bit of the belt.

Thanks
