Default 2ES oil leaking

Hello, there's oil leaking on my ES300. It seems to be coming from the passenger side above the oil drain thing. I think it's near the Crankshaft. The valve gaskets doesn't seem to be leaking. What can that be? Headgasket?

I'm also loosing coolant slowly?

Probably your camshaft seals. They're known to leak just as bad as the valve covers.

Yeah, you need to remove the timing belt and then remove the camshaft gears. They're behind a protective cover, behind the gears. That's why people do them when the timing belt is due.
