MG MGF Technical - oil leak

Have a small oil leak, just noticed it the other day on the ground. Its just a couple of drops under the engine on the right hand side sitting in the car. Anything to worry about? Thanks :o)

It sounds like a poor seal around the oil filter. You can easily get your hand underneath and feel if there's oil where the filter screws in at the front of the engine.
