oil leak, please help

[livi150]

guys had an oil leak for a while now.

been told it is around the starter motor area & could be the crankshaft oil seal.

anyone got any other ideas what it could be.

i know it's a bit vague, but that is all iv'e got for now

I think i had a oil leak in the same place, mine was the lower pulley seal, didn't cost much to get replaced

The crankshaft oil seal is on the drivers side of the car. It if it is this side, it could also be the timing chain gasket leaking??

most likely the oil filter housing seal, as that sits directly above the starter motor

SHOULD BE EASY TO SEE IF COMING FROM OIL FILTER
