Oil Leak

Hello,
I was changing my oil last night and noticed some oil on the outside of the oil pan. It appears to be coming from either the front seal on the oil pan or the front main seal on the crank. There wasn't very much so it's not that big of a problem yet but it still caught my attention. Is this a common problem or is it a fluke? The enging is a 4.2 v6 and the truck has about 83,000 miles on it.
Thanks in advance
Ben

no water in the pan, then the oil would be milky, just oil leaking out of the pan
