Have to get a better idea of where the problem is first. These cars can leak oil all over the front of the motor. Is yours oily? Fix that. While the belt is off spin the pulleys and feel them for wobble. Replace any that are loose or noisy. Fix the leaks. The U shaped oil cooler hose leaks at the upper crimp and drips down and that gets flicked around by the fan and belts. The oil cooler to oil filter housing gasket leaks. The oil cooler housing to oil cooler lines o-rings leak. The oil filter housing to block gasket can fail. The valve cover gasket can leak but does not usually make a mess on the front of the motor. The crank pulley seal can leak but that usually drips downwards.
Install a crank pulley guard once it is all cleaned up and fixed. If your crank damper is bad, the job is bigger. If your crank seal is bad, the job is much bigger. Make sure you do have all the belt and that it did not shred and part of it go through the seal into the motor.
