leaking oil..... help...

I have not checked the underside of my engine bay or around the turbos....

but there are oil leaks(not big) on the ground where I park my car at night... just little at a time but after a week...you can notice that it is leaking.
it is leaking closer to the passenger side than the driver side....

any suggestions on where it is leaking?

could be many things, rear main seal, turbo oil return, oil pan, ext. Do some more looking on the underside of the car.
