Oil from the rear main seal?(maybe)
ATF from the pump seal? Or the dipstick tube?- all just guesses, i'd clean it up the best you can with degreaser and towels, and then just monitor it for the next few weeks and see where it's wet

I couldn't tell you one lawn mower from another with those images.

If that's oil, it's probably coming form your rear main. If not, then the front transmission seal.

It looks like trans fluid and oil. So more than one leak I would assume. How many miles are on it?

As stated before it could be a number of things. Clean it up good and drive for a bit then check and see. If all else fails use some UV dye.
