leak

We'll I noticed I had a little spot of oil/fuel or something g that dripped off of my oil pan bolt. It just started leaking so I'm figuring its not oil. I changed oil in Jan. I am thinking it must be running down from something but what? Its pouring here and I can only look out my window at it. Any suggestion other than the valley to look? Possible o ring? Thanks

Well let me start with, is it oil or fuel??? What I thought was an oil leak turned out to be a fuel line leaking, that turned into a huge fuel leak. so start looking around the engine and find that leak. If there is any fluid in the valley of the engine, under the fuel filter you have something leaking in the fuel system.
Mine turned out to be the fuel return line on the passengers side of the engine, next to the left head.

It appears to be oil. Its about the size of a 50cent piece on the driveway
