There are several possible leaks from that area. The oil pressure sensor, the oil trap, or the dipstick tube sealing ring. The latter of the three being the easiest to replace. You'll need a new sealing ring (part #30637865). You simply jack the car up or drive it on to jack stands and remove the bolt holding the dipstick tube to the inlet manifold from underneath (You'll need several really long socket extensions) and then pull it from the top where it goes into the pan.
