Default HELP 99' oil leak!!!

Guys!

Really need your help in this one- bikes been out the back not getting much use as cant afford a new battery, and Came to it a few weeks ago to find a puddle of oil underneath.

Its getting worse! Ive uploaded some pictures of the underneath of the engine for you to look at, but I dont really know where its coming from-

Please no sarcastic or idiota with rude comments as I really need this sorting and cant affors to have it looked at!

Any help would be much appreciated

unfortunately you haven't provided much information for us to go on, the photo shows drips on the sump plug, but as that is the lowest part of the engine any leak would run to there, I'd suggest first off find out how much oil has been lost/ what's seen in the sight glass?, then clean the engine of any oil which should allow you to see where it's coming from.

If you have enough oil in the bike, running it will warm the oil and make finding the leak easier.

As rictus said, clean the engine thoroughly, then run it and watch for the oil to start leaking out from wherever it's leaking.
Any maintenance done on the bike recently? If so, and something like the valve cover was removed to check clearances, look there first, or anywhere anything on the engine was removed and replaced.
