2006 Ford Ranger 2.3L Oil Leak

Hello,

I have a 2006 manual 2.3L Ranger with about 180k miles. I have been daily driving it with no issues for a while. When I parked yesterday I noticed a small pool of oil in the driveway. I have never had any leaks. I crawled underneath and noticed a very slow drip from near oil drain plug, although the leak doesn't appear to be coming from the plug because there is also oil all down the passenger side of the engine. I then popped the hood and it look like there is also oil all over top end of the motor. I did some googling and saw some common leak sources, but thought I'd ask for some advice before I started jumping into anything. Anyone have experience with anything like this on theirs? Any help is appreciated.
