Hi everyone, we noticed there seemed to be a few oil patches on the driveway recently so earlier I jacked up the front end of the car and took some pics...

Is our cat dying?

There seems to be oil leaking from the sump/sump plug (can't tell which), where the (auto) gearbox bolts on the engine, and from something on the passenger side behind the radiators - not sure if this is something to do with air conditioning/oil cooler etc.

Can someone have a quick look at these photos I've taken and tell me what they reckon? I'm going to phone a local garage in the morning to get it booked in but I thought it would be a good idea to find out what we might be looking at here.

It's a 1999 Ford Cougar V6 (Duratec engine) by the way.

Thanks in advance

Weird box thing on passenger side which is leaking oil:
