Anyone have an idea of where this oil might be coming from? It’s pretty much right in the front middle of the engine bay, left of the cat when looking towards the engine.

I cleaned it all off for now to see if and how fast it comes back. No noticeable losses on the dipstick between oil changes.

That doesn't look like anything I'd be worried about

I would agree it doesn't look very concerning. All you can do is clean it the best you can. If it's still leaking, it will be easier to find the source then.

Thanks to both of you. I cleaned it well and will keep an eye on it during oil changes.

I have a leaking axle seal so I’ll focus on getting that fixed first.

You will probably want to check it sooner than the next oil change. Otherwise it may look exactly the same as before cleaning.
