You'll have to be more specific. Oil, Coolant? Basically every component with a seal, gasket or hse etc is a potential leak.

Yes, basically everything! Valve cover gasket, front cover, crank seal, oil pan, rear main seal are the most common leaks.

it looks like it's coming from the front around the distributor
