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?
