Found oil in odd spot.
well.. today in auto's class I lifted my car up and found that right next to the oil pan bolt, there was a small hoze and a thing that looked like a fuel filter with oil all over it... it wasnt dripping but it was on there.... anyone know what im talking about? its directly right next to where the bolt is in the oil pan to drain the oil...... my turbo's are working fine at around 11-8-11 pattern.... car pulls strong... no smoke from burning oil... any ideas why its there?

My car is also leaking a tad bit of oil, only when it is hot, when the car is cold the car doesn't leak oil... odd enough..??
Anyways its really hard to find, seems to be coming from the driver's side somewhere, because i can sometimes see it drip off of the control arm.. like it is running down... i'm starting to think maybe it is my oil sending unit?
