There's a good chance that you may find a bad rear
main seal.  If this is the case, you'll probably want
to go ahead and detach the other arm and leg.

But before you do, carefully check the rear part of
the intake manifold seal, as well as the oil sending
unit.  Both of these could dribble oil down the engine
to drip in the location you describe.

Good luck.
