Default oil leak from head

has any one heard of oil leaking from center of cylinder head on my 1996 sl2 1.9. It looks like it is coming from the front of head and it can not be driven it leaks so much. No prior work was done to it it just started leaking. Help if anyone has any ideas.

I had this exact issue. The head cracked from the top down through a lifter bore. The oil pressure that was intended to keep the lifter from collapsing was pushing oil out of the crack at a remarkable pace lol Only fix is a new head.
