Default small question

It's been awhile since I've been on here. I just have a question I changed my oil the other day after taking my car outta winter storage. and I noticed on the oil pan that thing that is on the opposite side of the drain plug, looks too me to be some sort of sensor that goes into the oil pan leaks alittle. is there anything that can be done about this? thanks for any help

there might be a gasket for that sensor (oil level sensor) id ask a autoparts store for a diagram and if there is then replace it
