oil leak

Hello everyone! Brand new to the forum after buying my first jeep. Always been a fan of the old Wrangler and picked one up for a good deal (I hope) from a neighbor down the street. Runs great, but I noticed a leak that is dripping from the front, near under the bumper. It's brownish, but I have...

So I'm on to the next phase of working on the Jeep, and that is locating the source of an oil leak that appears to be getting worse. I always thought that I had a small RMS leak, but after some searching the consensus is to start from the top down and start with a check for a valve cover leak...
