Default Low oil indicator, puddle of oil found near where oil filter is, please remind me what this is again

Driving home when low oil lights up. Added about 1 litre or more of oil, checked under the car and near the front of the engine, about where the oil filter would be, there is about a couple of tablespoons full of oil on the garage floor. Any quick hints before I jack er up?

Thanks

It's a relatively cheap part, too. And not bad to get to.
