Oil Leak By Passenger Tire

I'm assuming this is the timing chain cover?? Also, it looks as though my power steering resevoir is leaking any quick fix on that??

Thanks guys, I finally got a chance to upgrade my stereo this weekend and also install my clear bumper lights. The car is coming around, I just need a good detail weekend to get the swirls out and looking presentable.

More likely power-steering or rear valve cover, must look from underneath to verify.

I looked when I was changing my oil, but it was hard to tell. It looks clean around the rear VC, but can't tell for sure. Some days it's worse than others I know that. It does make a mess on my garage floor though, which I don't like.

The 4th gen are known for leaking oil from the oil pressure switch. Mind leaks oil from there every somewhat amount of miles. There are posting on this in the 4th gen forums.
