Default Oil leak

I have an oil leak. It's quite low down on the engine. I haven't had a chance to get under there yet but there is lots of room in the 4 cylinder engine bay so I can see it is below the cylinder head. What is below the cylinder head that can leak oil besides the oil sump gasket and the oil drain plug?

Default How hard is it to change the oil pan gasket?

I assume you need to drain the oil first.?
