I know it is asking alot and isn't probably possible, but perhaps there are "common sources/solutions" to this new problem on my car.

I had this car since August 2nd 2006, no leaks at all, and I mean spotless. Since the last 6 days I have had oil leaks , about 2-5 drops a night and probably at work as well after driving.

I checked my oil level and it is still at high, the car drives fine, I don't notice any wierd fluctuations on my oil pressure gauge (oem) and I can't figure it out.

The only clue I have is that it is definitely coming from the passenger half of the car and I looked under the car and the front part of the cross member and the plastic shroud are still clean, the rear part of the cross member had gunk on it so I wiped it clean to see where more develops (pending). I looked underneath the turbos to see if the lines were leaking, no leaks. I looked down into the engine bay and couldn't find any trace at all either. I'm just scared to haul *** in my car because I don't want a critical part to suddenly burst and not get the oil it needs.

Let me know if there is a common weak point that I didn't read about yet. Or any advice... thanks.

More than likely it is an oil pan leak. It is a very common problem, with no great solution.

if it is an oil pan leak, there are several other posts about others who have had sucess using an oil pan brace (like one from gotham racing) or making a better seal by dimpling the oil pan sealing area, do a simple search

Check the oil injectors. I had a similar problem, spotless and then a little oil on the cross member after some 'spirited' driving. Enough injection under boost and it drips on the turbo and causes smoke. Mine went away on it's own but you can check to see if the one-way valve works in the injectors. Be careful, as there is an old and new injector type if you need to replace them.
