If that's the only leak your small block has, consider yourself lucky, LOL. Anyway, maybe you have a starter mounting bolt hole that has a crack going into an oil passage. I would remove the bolt that has the drop and clean it and the hole with brake cleaner and install it with some sort of sealer. Maybe there's some oil residue inside the starter from a previous oil leak. Got some pictures that we can see?
