Probally the Oil Seperator Plate behind the flwheel - the plastic type covers do tend to crack and leak,normally change them for the Aluminium type for a permanant repair.
Could also be the Rear Main Oil Seal on the back end of the crank leaking.

is this a common problem?where would i get a Aluminium replacment.shall i fork out the 700 quid the garage want for this or just leave it?

If it's just a minor problem and they want £700, why not take it elsewhere, franchised dealership or independant specialist and get a second opinion?
