help, oil leak

Kinda hard to tell where the leak is actually coming from. The rear of the engine for sure as that is where all of the crud is at. I have an Idea of what needs to be replaced/fixed but as I am short on time I cannot do it for another week or so. Recently the leak has gone from drip to gush. It does not always gush but sometimes. My question is could I maybe use a different kind of oil to minimize leaking? I currently have 10w40 in it. My second question is what is the best way to get all the gunk out of the engine bay? I have some spray gunk but how do I effectively get it all out. I also have a lot of gunk underneath the car. Last question if the belts and pulleys are spraying the oil all over the place is it feasable that it could get into the alternator and if so with what consequences?
Thanks in advance.
