Have you done an oil change/service on your car recentley? Sump plug? Sump gasket? Oil pump?

Mines the 1.1, mines the head gasket so can not be bother to fix. It's only a drip. Like above have you had anything done recently? Just nip it down a garage and ask them to have a look. Mine be as easy as the rocker cover gasket.

Well it's definitely oil and has spread quite a bit but doesn't look soaking wet so probably weeping, could either be oil spilt when you've changed the oil filter (oil can last on the outside of an engine for months!!) or it could be the rocker cover not bolted down properly or the rocker cover gasket could be worn/perished due to age or it's your sump gasket  just keep an eye on your oil level but all should be fine and whatever it is it could be fixed simply with some gasket sealant and a torque wrench
