Default 1988 prelude oil leak help

I have a small oil leak somewhere and I am having a very hard time
diagnosing the location. I do know that when I open the hood there is
always a few drops of oil on the hood right above the power steering fluid
drive wheel.
I am pretty sure that it is oil and not power steering fluid-- it is
darker in color than the p.s. fluid.
Since this location on the hood is directly above the belts, I assume
that there is an oil leak getting onto one of the belts and being flung onto
the hood during driving.
If anyone has any past experience in this area, please let me know.
FWIW-- there is a smell of burning rubber also coming from this part of the
engine when I get out of my car after driving. I cannot smell it inside the
cabin, and it only happens when the engine is hot. I assume oil dripping
onto a hot engine causing this symptom.

Thanks for your help,
