Default Small Leak from oil pan

My drips the odd drop of oil after sitting. Dime size on the driveway. I went under and snapped a few pics. Looks like the oil pan (probably not the right name for it) looks pretty wet. Doesn't look like it's coming from the plug or hose. Should I be looking at having it looked at?

Thanks all.

I would hazard a guess that the leak/seep is coming from one of the oil lines/connections that above the oil tank. You may be able to get a look with flashlight behind the tire. However, taking that wheel off and cleaning up some of the grime will set you up better for finding the source.

That looks like the oil reservoir in the fender. It could be the oil level sending unit is leaking . I doubt it is the reservoir itself. See if it is running down from the top.
