Oil pan leak?

Hi all. Stupidly hit the curb front on and snapped the plastic splash guard around the NS arch, so need to get a new one. Excuse my lack of knowledge... but while inspecting I noticed an oily patch around what I believe is the oil pan... Is it normal to have a bit of oil around here? Possibly leftover from previous work etc..

No noticeable oil leaks elsewhere and although the car seems to drink oil, the oil level seems to be pretty stable - was originally at 4 bars, now has been at 3 bars for a while.

Hi,

It could be a sump (Oil pan) gasket leak OR it could be the front pulley oil seal.

You will need to get a closer look up behind the pulley itself and see if that's the source of your leak.

Stu.
