Default oil leaks

Just notice oil leaks, its near the oil tube that is connected to the oil pan, wonder
if it's leaking from the seal, i tried to tighten the 2 bolts, they are not loose, i felt the tube to see if its leaking from clamps, it's dry, is that a common leaks? Or somewhere else?
Thanks

Could be the gasket under the tube adapter. Or oil pump seeping down...?
