Which side of the engine? If its on drivers side it could be rocker cover gasket...quite common and an easy fix. Otherwise some pics would help. Bob

As above, most scoobys have a small oil leak from the rocker gasket, most people just live with it if its only very minor

if its rear crank seal then it's gear box off job
if its front crank seal then it's timing belt off neither of them are small jobs
it could be sump need resealing or rocker cover gasket
pics would help loads m8
