Minor Oil Leak

I've notice a oil leak coming from the point in which the dip stick inters the pan. Any suggestions? Not realy worried just like to take care of the problem before it gets any futher.

mine also leaked here so and the nut on the out side was loose so last week i tightened it so i will see if it helps. the probelm with this leak is that the housing the dipstick goes into enters the oil pan from the inside then is held tight by the nut on the outside. so if tightening doesn't help i beleive the o-ring or gasket that seals it is on the inside and pan doesn't some out with out pulling the engine out. so try to tighten that large nut with channel locks.

hope that helps
