Your oil filter pedestal is leaking. It's rather common. There are just two rubber "o" rings under it that get packed out and hard. If you have small hands the job probaly won't be too tough, if your hands are fat like mine your in for a bitch of a job. Somebody on this forum has a great write up on the problem and the procedure, you should do a search.
