I don't think it is a timing belt anymore

Thanks for everyone's help with my last post to change a timing belt (92 Celica GT 182K miles). So I have done some reading and decided (finally had time) to start.

There is alot of fresh (unburnt) oil in the #3 spark plug cavity and coated the spark plug boot. 1, 2, & 4 spark plug boots are dry. Looking up the back of the engine there is oil coating everything and dripping (car has not moved in 2-3 weeks, 5 inch circle on the concrete.) Any Ideas? Timing belts breaking on this engine shouldn't cause head damage?

Car died on my way home from work, cranks fast w/o firing.

the timing belt could still be gone....it might slowing be stripping the belt and getting all stuck in the seals. This happened to mine. My belt was slowly shredding and i had a puddle of oil under my car. My car wouldn't fire either so i'd take a look at that first. Mine died while i was driving as well my waterpump through off my belt.
