leaking oil

[tonaz]

my car is leaking oil from the front of the engine at the bottom. it's straight down from where the fuel rail cover goes. does anyone know what this is or how to fix it?

there is like a small pool formed to the left of where the dip stick is and it is dripping onto the drive?

thanks, hope someone can help

Depending on what make it is...yeah.

You need to tighten it with grips, can be bought from Halfords, or a friendly mechanic might do it for you for a beer token!

does it just screw tight? seems to be tight and oil doesn't seem to be coming from the filter?
