HELP! Oil leak

Hi guys,

A few days ago I found a small leak under the front of the car, I looked under to see what's going on, I saw the engine block was wet (dry conditions) and took some pictures...

 

I checked the engine oil, it's at the same level as before I saw the leak, coolant is there so it's not that... I'm clueless to be honest so I thought I'd ask?

Gearbox oil? It's a 1.0 petrol.

 

Thanks in advance!!

Well looking at the last close up, it seem's it's coming from the top of the beige cap (btw, there is a plastic cap attached to it, should it be placed over the beige hole entry, or leave it exposed?) The roads are dry at the moment, and there is a clear leak mark everywhere I go! Now thinking it could be head gasket seal if it's coming from the top?

Isn't that the inspection hole?

Yes it is. 

 

No oil should ever be in there. I would say this cap is a red herring and it's far more likely the leak or fluid is originating from somewhere higher up. Try again.
