I don't see any relationship between the heater and oil leaks. Where is the leaking coming from?

It leaks from the passenger side at the front. This leak is not consistant which is confusing, it only seems to drop some oil from time to time, and it is never alot, but enough for me to notice it.

Oil leaks would result in stains. Check from top of engine compartment to see if there are any oil stains. You would need to locate the source of the leak to be able to continue with rectification.
