Oil leaking all over my serpentine belt

My 2003 Vibe is leaking oil all over the serpentine belt. I've no idea where it's coming from. I was about to hit it with a pressure washer to clean it up and see if I can trace the leak. Is this a problem anyone else has had and might want to give me a place to look first?BTW it's not the head gasket, that would have been too easy.

It is possible. I think it started sometime after I replaced the serpentine belt. Is that common on the Vibes?

i hesitate to say common, but it is an issue with that has happened. usually all it ends up doing is making enough noise to make you want to change it.

What is it that leaks, a seal or something.
