HI everyone, After fixxing my power steering fluid leak, i found that im also leaking some oil, Not very much though, its not at the point where i need to put more oil in, the oil maybe goes down about a quarter inch on the dipstick within 3 months so it doesnt matter either way since thats the time i change the oil anyway but i cant seem to see where it is leaking from the only thing i can see is in this pic, there is little drops of oil that fall off that, it is right next to the oil pan which is my only suspect so far, any where else it could leak from around that area?

Clean the area first. Spray the area with engine degreaser, wipe off and then run the engine to see where the oil is coming from. Make sure the car is safely supported on jack-jack stand. You can refer to the link below for component location.
