update to oil leak

It looks like the leak is from the lower left bolt that supports the front engine mount. Does this bolt go through to the oil pan. What is the best method to seal this type of leak?

Check to see if this engine has an oil cooler pickup under the filter. You can tell because there will be a couple of hoses running out. If so, the leak could be from the pickup plate that mounts under the filter.

Your front motor mount also has fluid in it that looks like oil. If the rubber is deteriorated then the mount may be leaking.
