Oil leak front drivers side of my 3.7 liter engine

[ShawnS]

I have a 2004 Liberty Limited Edition and I've been noticing oil in my driveway. About once every other week or so I have to refill my oil to the normal level. There's a leak in the front of the motor near my idler pulley and above my oil filter. I dont know what this would be. My father thought it could be the valve cover gasket but I just had those done a few months ago. The picture isn't the best but it's in a pretty awkward spot... Any insight into what this could be and how I can fix it would be appreciated.

Yeah it could be I didn't think of that... I'll check it out tomorrow when I get a chance. Maybe after I get back from autozone buying more oil haha. Thanks for the reply

do you have a larger picture? hard to tell but it doesn't look like it's leaking from the oil pressure sender though.

Here, hopefully this is better. It's definitely not the pressure sender but I looked at it a little more closely today and it looks like it could be power steering fluid. I have a small hole in my hose and the fluid level was extremely low. I'm going to do a flush in the daylight tomorrow and replace all the fluid because the old stuff is nasty (and likely hasn't ever been changed, I'm the second owner). It's dirty which is why I thought it was motor oil. I also found that my drain plug has a pretty steady leak which could be the reason behind where my oil keeps disappearing to haha.
