Exclamation first post of the new year. oil leak 97 3.0

I got an oil leak. It looks as if its coming from above the oil filter. I just changed the oil and sea foamed it bout 100 miles ago and it seems as if It got worse. The leak is ad enough that it can drip off the oil pan bolts. I'm all ears. I'm gonna check her out tomorrow but I would love some input. Thanks guys
