Help me find oil leak(s)?

I've had my 1.5L CE Auto for about 2 years now with 120k on it. It has leaks from the moment I bought it and well aware of it. Nothing major, I've done about 30k over the years.

The oil drips concentrated on the oil pan, the first thing I did was to re gasket the whole oil pan. But the leaks continue.

I also noticed that the oil doesn't come out when the car sits without turning on the engine. The leaks get worse whenever I do high rev drive, like hill climbing. I had to stop one time because there was a smoke coming out of the engine bay, but I think it's just a smoke from dripping oil on the exhaust pipe.

I haven't changed the timing belt yet because it's still okay and I don't really have the tools nor skills to do it.

I can see gunk around belt area and engine bay around driver side.

Thoughts?
 
Have you checked the oil filter they tend to come off a bit and have a depressing slow leak so might be worth a check

Have done about 4 oil and oil filter changes. All done by myself. Like I said I don't think the problem lies on the oil pan area
