Looks like you have the typical oil leaking from front cover and it completely failed.
Good news is that appears you have a 2wd model, much easier to drop the oil pan and remove front cover than with a 4wd.
Are you going to be doing the repair yourself or is a shop doing it?
The front cover is plastic and you replace the cover as well as the front seals. Also replace the oil pan gasket.

Good luck.

If you haven't already clean it up, top off the oil and fire it up to see for sure where the leak is, you would really hate your self if you tore down the front end to just find out the cooler lines was the leak
