Aggressive Oil Leak

I recently noticed my Volkswagen bus ('71) on my relatively low mile engine has recently started leaking oil very aggressively. It's almost gone through a quart in a week's time.
Now, the engine is fairly new, maybe 2,000-3,000 miles on it.
No I haven't done the valves since the initial adjustment; that's the first thing on my to do list after this crazy semester at school is done.
I do have some pictures of where it is leaking, though they are a bit blurry. I'm at the back of the bus looking forward.
I don't know what that disk thing is on the bottom of the engine (Standard air cooled 1600cc).
I'd rather not take this to the mechanic - but I will if I have to. I just don't know where to start. One of these days I'm going to take an automotive class.
Current oil weight: 10W-40.
