An operating lease is not shown on the balance sheet. They are charged directly to the profit and loss.
Financial leases are the types of leases where the company will own the asset when they've paid off all the lease payments. This type of lease is shown in liabilities, it will be split showing what's due in one year (current) and the rest due after one year (long term).

Is Operating leases considered to be a spontaneous source of financing?
I don't know if spontaneous is the right word; but they are considered by some to be a type of "off-balance sheet" financing. The reason for this is because very often, companies lease an item with the intent of eventually owning that item. An operating lease does not create a liability on the balance sheet the way financing an asset would. That being said, an asset that is being "financed" through a lease should more correctly be classified as a capital lease, which does create a balance sheet liability.
