it shows oil on the exhaust so it must be coming from above ( cams ) cam shafts top of the engine, the oil leak is down the side of the engine so investigation

Default RE: here is more pics

Probably valve cover gaskets. Then again, without additional photos can't really commit. Asmuch oil as your photos show, it could even be a rear main seal. Hard to say. As for the overheating, if you've been leaking oil, make sure you check the oil level.
