I need help/ opinions...pictures to help out
i just noticed this morning that i had a couple of drip spots on my driveway. 
i jacked the car up and noticed that oil was dripping out of the bolt just above the oil plug. so i am lost the bolt was on tight but it looks like it might not be coming directly from the bolt....what do yall think it is??? the red arrow shows where the drip is exactly...

First Clean the oil off. I think the oil you see is from your motor mount that has cracked. I could be wrong. Do you notice rough idle? Look at the motor mount and see if you see any oil up there. The bolt from the aluminum engine mount bracket does not go into the oil pan.

It's a motor mount bolt, no oil is coming from it. You need to get it on a lift and see if the oil is coming from the engine itself. Maybe you spilled a little oil when you added? It doesn't look like a lot of oil to begin with. Have you checked your oil level is it lower than normal?
