hi guys,
ive had a small oil leak coming from somewhere for a while but recently its got really bad! last week i lost nearly a litre! its coming from under the engine on the drivers side and its flicking up off a belt onto the underside of my bonet and its getting onto my drivers side front wheel and spraying down the side of my car! i really need to get it sorted but cant actually see where its coming from. im assuming its a gasket or seal gone of some sort but can anyone tell me what it may be likely to be 
any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

Probaly your crankshaft seal, basically STOP USING YOUR CAR 
It has most likely leaked on the cambelt so dont even start the car

Look at the engine and take note, because that might be the last time you see it in one piece
