Default Oil Leak

Alright guys...
I have 2 1100cc OHV Fiesta's, ones on the road etc and the others a project. I've noticed both of them have an oil leak, dripping off the sump on the drain plug. I done an oil & filter change on the one of them, new drain washer hoping that would sort it but it hasn't.

I've checked and pretty sure its not the oil filter, and not the oil pump. So my only guess is the sump? Just odd how both cars are leaking in the exact same place, and dripping the exact same amount of oil lol.

Any advice appreciated.

check the sump for rust, the hcs engine sumps do suffer with rust and small holes can form, check up the sides of it
