I've been observing this for awhile trying to ascertain it but can anyone identify this problem and the solution to it? see pictures.

I suspect it's leaking from either the camshaft oil seal or the valve cover. Take them off and inspect it. An oil leak isn't good for timing belt rubber.

Well added to that, whenever I start up in the morning or stop while driving and look to drive off I get a squealing sound. More so when I start up in the morning. I was told to change the camshaft seals and the oil pump seal..... My mechanic told me that the belts could re-used but I'm not sure about that.

That was good advice is to change all the front seals and clean down the area, but not to reuse those belts. Don't re-use any belt that has been in contact with the oil. Don't try to save a buck on a timing belt.

Oil degrades the rubber, making it gradually softer 'til it gets like putty. That belt slippage is your first sign. If it's leaking from behind the timing belt cover and it gets to your accessory belts, then your timing belt is already soaked. It prolly won't slip because of the tensioners, but as the rubber degrades it, it's easier to break.

Question, when changing the timing belt, I know with some vehicles you have to change the tensioner as well.... this be true with toyota too?

It's more of a preventative maintenance thing. Remember, your tensioner is as old (or older) than your belt, but if you have doubts abt the age, nothing wrong with changine it one time.

Well I've decided to park her up until I get the finances to overhaul her.... this includes changing the engine mounts making them polyurethane as well; changing all seals.... gaskets..... installing the a/t cooler kit and changing the rear braking system from drums to discs......
