Help needed: oil leak and no coolant

I recently picked up an 11 x5 35i with about 99k on it. I went to change the oil today and when getting under the car I saw oil that looked like it was about to drip right from what appears to be a jack point. I open the hood and see a small pool of oil next to the oil filter. I take a flashlight and see some sort of either old caked oil mixed with new fried oil just about everywhere near the belt. I start to check fluids and notice the coolant tank is empty. Whatever is left in there is brown.

Is this a dreaded oil filter gasket leak? Only thing I noticed funny was the oil level has been dropping like crazy since I got it about a week ago. Figured it has probably been there for about 10k miles or so and needed a change.

Otherwise car runs fine no warning lights. I’m going out of my mind and very worried. Any help is appreciated!
