Yea i was gonna say it's your valve cover gasket because that's where it looks like the oil is coming from, and I've had a valve cover gasket leak in the same spot before....

i went through a few revolutions by hand with the engine, there was only oil on the top part of the belt when i shut the engine off, barely anything, but i still took care of it.. everything is good to go now, just waiting for a VC gasket
