Lots of great points here... you need to do some testing. Start with the cleaning recommended above so you can get the clearest possible read on where the leak originates. You could test for a head gasket leak. I did it recently. $7 or $8 at an O'Reilly and no crawling under the car or even leaning over it much (remembering your earlier back problems) would give you a definitive answer on the head gasket.
It's funny how similar our car problems are at the moment. I am chasing down fluid leaks and just cleaned engine block areas showing leakage so I can get a better read on where oil seems to be coming from. I am suspicious of the dizzy's o-ring seal. Hahaha! Synchronicity.
Good luck. Hang in there.
