or the rear oil line connection, drivers side to the rear of the motor, if you're LHD. Also some of the sensors in the pan coule be leaking, the cold start oil sensor and the level sensor, or sometimes drain plugs don't get tight enough.

Small leaks can eventually lead to big ones. I would clean everything off real good at all the places everyone mentioned. Then keep checking every day or so to see where the oil starts appearing first.
