i might suggest the oil pan is leaking in the front or if you have a front mount oil cooler, it may be cracked

Could it be a split oil delivery pipe from the metering pump push-ons?

You could have a leak just behind the main pulley oil seal...Wipe the area clean or pressure wash the area clean...After that is done let the car idle for a while...shut it off check for leaks...if nothing take the car for a run...then check for leaks...If it's wet back there it's your front main oil pulley gasket just behind the pulley...If not there check your omp, check for a crack on the oil cooler, check for leaks around the front oil cover its self
