Default Oil leak, help!!!

Hello,

I think i've got an oil leak - in that i think it's oil.

There was a puddle under my Impreza sport wagon at lunch, and i can see a dripping coming from the middle front of the engine - it's dripping on the plastic shield under the engine.

Does anyone have any idea what it could be? All the levels seem normal - apart from they look over-full on each dipstick.

Any help is really appreciated, as I'm really worried now.

Thanks

Rickon

Common problem is the crank front oil seal leaking. Make sure the screws aren't coming loose on the back of the oil pump. Change the cam belt while you're at it, if you're going there.
Don't take my word for it as I can't see it from here! get it on a ramp and take a look.
