Default Oil drain plug

Seems I have a oil leak. Just found some oil under the motor when I was removing my bilage pump. Its getting dark now, I am hoping its just the drain plug. Were should I start looking for the drain plug.If it turns out to be leaking around the oil pan seal how difficult is it to get to the pan srcews to tighten them up. Its a 4.3 carb. 1800 sr 2001
