Default Oil leak?

For the first time since I bought the car I noticed a few drops of oil on the floor towards the front of the car.
I bought it 7yrs ago.
Just curious if there is a typical fault / common to this engine.
I don't have time to look at it so I plan to take it in.
Thank you

Perhaps the oil drain plug is not sealed fully? I also tend to get small oil patches on the floor due to checking or adding to the oil. Valve covers might be the culprit, as well. These engines rarely leak as to any fundamental block or head issue.
