Lately after parking my car I started noticing a little bit of oil under the car where the driveshaft is. I’m pretty sure it’s transmission oil. I saw a hose/line around that area but I don’t know what it’s for. What could be the source of this leak?

It’s engine oil coming from the valve cover, traced the oil that was on some fuel line and I could see the valve cover leaking. My father recently did the gaskets and I guess they didn’t seal properly.
