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.

Describe how a lessee accounts for a capital lease both at interception of the lease and during the 1 year of lease?
At the inception of a capital lease, the lessee recognizes an asset and a corresponding liability on their balance sheet, both recorded at the present value of the lease payments. Over the course of the lease year, the lessee depreciates the leased asset and records interest expense on the lease liability. The depreciation expense is typically calculated on a straight-line basis or in accordance with the asset's useful life, while the interest expense is determined based on the outstanding liability. Lease payments made during the year reduce the principal amount of the liability.

How do you calculate lease liability?
To calculate lease liability, first identify the total lease payments over the lease term, including fixed payments, variable payments that depend on an index, and any residual value guarantees. Then, determine the discount rate, which is typically the interest rate implicit in the lease or the lessee's incremental borrowing rate if the implicit rate is not readily determinable. Finally, present value these lease payments using the discount rate to arrive at the total lease liability.
