You have that fitting matched to the proper fitting on the oil pan yes?

Did you use teflon tape? The reason I ask is because AN fittings don't require thread sealing paste/tape and will leak if you use them.

Take it off, clean it, and put it back on making sure it's tight. Because it's a spinning fitting, it seals the back of it (where you circled) only when it's tightened onto the fitting.
