Default Oil Leak?

Hello I have a 1998 Audi A4 2.8 Quattro. It drips oil from right beside the passenger side wheel through the plastic under plate. What could the problem be? Please help
Thank you.

It could be the valve cover gasket going bad. How many miles are on the car?

it could be time to change the valve cover gasket if it has never been done before.
