Default OIL LEAK

my brother seems to have an oil leak from the back of his sump, nothing major just very very slight. Oh yes his scoob is a 2001 STI, any ideas?

Thought as much. Will it do any harm in the short term as he is going away in the car for two months

it'll use oil, (clearly) and will lead to early clutch failure... getting it sorted sooner might result in the clutch being re-useable.... might however be time for a new one anyway...
