1984 Chevy Cavalier 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 65K miles

I have oil leaking profusely from the oil filter area.I cannot tell if is the oil filter but intend to replace it as a first step.

Question is? Is there anything else I should be looking ourt for?

I am a moron without the money to have someone look at it who knows what they doing.

thanks

Try tightening the oil filter see if that stops the leaking, if not change the oil and a new filter and make sure the gasket mating surfaces are clean and the new gaskets are oiled with clean oil and tightned about as tight as you can by hand.
