More than likely, it is your oil cooler hoses, which actually is quite common. Take off your undertray and trace down the leak. You can do this by degreasing the entire area, and then looking to see where the oil is coming from, if it is not obvious enough when you get under there.

If it is the cooler, most rad shops can repair them for a small fee. MUCH cheaper then buying new, since Mazda charges >$700 for a new one, and even used ones go for around $100.
