Oil leak question was created by Shellie

Does anyone know where this problem could be from. There is oil (which seems thinker than normal engine oil) which is dripping from the the passenger side, it's coating the wheel arch, a big round thing and the inside of the wheel. There seems to be oil pipes running around under there, is there a seal that often goes. Could the oil be from one of these pipes or is it more likely to be from the steering or suspension?

Thanks.

There's the brake line that runs down there I think, check the fluid level. There's a join in the wing on mine might need nipping up.

I'm back from college now and have the car up on axle stands and the tyre off.
Yes it looks like that. I've had to come in now as the drizzle has now changed to heavy rain.
