Hi ladies and gents. I've been getting a drop or 2 of oil landing on my drive way recently every time i pull in and park up. So obviously when the engine is hot.

Just the spot no more. i'd say its a no more than a foot in from the back of the bumper so somewhere in the engine bay.

Just wondered if you have any ideas where to look.

Thank you in advance.

re leak
many things leak there
clean the engine and then you will be able to see afresh leak.
look at the crank pulley, (usual suspect) sump plug, oil pump, petrol pump, crank breather tower...
