Default Help with a leak.

So for the last couple of weeks I've been noticing small drops of oil on my garage floor. So today I took the plastic off the bottom of the engine and the carpet was full of oil.(Not Good). So I was check it out an noticed an oil return line of some sort the had drips coming off of it but I'm not sure the name of it. I know it prob sounds silly. But I just need some help so I can take it to the shop with out them charging me an arm an leg just to see where the leak is coming from. Thanks I'm advance.

If your going to take it to a mechanic shop, it wont hurt to degrease the engine before taking it. This will help the mechanic pin point the location
