Arrow M103 Oil leak or burning?

My 1989 M103 engine is losing oil. I'm not sure if it's buring or leaking.

I have read that the M103 leaks Oil at Top of the Timing Chain Cover, because of the gasket. I have also read that the M103 leaks Oil near the right rear of the engine block - Head gasket. I'm not sure how much oil the M103 engine normally burns.

In my car I see some oil on the plastic guard under the engine below the alternator. I'm not sure if it's freah oil or old. The right rear of the engine block looks dry. I took a quick glance. I will give it a thorough look and then I will clean the engine to see if there are any visible leaks/spots. I'm not sure if the engine is burning oil either. The previous owner spent a lot of money maintaing the car. I was looking in the service records and found this:

Does this mean the Head Gasket was replaced?

Thanks in Advance
