May be the beginning of the famous front seal / oil pump housing leak. It
doesn't appear to be very big at this time so personally I would wait on it.
If your due for a timing belt change then do it also.

Thanks Greg, I'm at 175,000 kms. I was going to wait until 200K to
change the timing belt etc....just wondering if it can wait the better
part of a year.....

Thanks,
