Default help with oil leak (PICS)

This is a pic of a car that i looked at that i might buy.Sorry that i dont know much bout cars but i took a pic of what looks like an OIL leak near the distributor.I didnt get a really good chance to look at it cuz i had to go to work but i hope this is something minor.I couldnt really tell where the oil was coming form.Maybe someone had a similar leak like this?Any help would be great.

You should have put this in the engines forum, Its a distrubutor Seal, it costs like 80c, its easy to fix. there should be a write up on it, if u search u will find it.

Here ill make it easy for you, search nxt time.
