Technical Oil Leak

[Tine]

Hi
I took a chance on a cheapo 1.4l 500L from copart with a few easy to deal with bodywork issues, unfortunately I've also noticed an oil leak. any idea what this is likely to be or how expensive to fix?

I'd suggest clean it all down (degrease it) and monitor, it should become apparent.

Cannot tell from the pic..

Not a clumsy oil change..?

Hopefully nothing serious I'll go get some brake cleaner and see if it's leaking.

1.4 petrol..?

Probably a couple of prime suspects

Been away for a week at work and just got back, figured out how to remove the airbox and had a look, definitely appears to be an oil leak and the coil pack/spark pack is wet.
