I had the same thing happen to me. Found it coming from the valve cover gasket and oil breather.   Good luck.

could be the oil pan plug is loose or dipstick tube is seapping.

Did you change oil and filter recently?  If you did and did not have something below the filter to absorb the oil that drips from the oil filter pad then that could be what you are experiencing.  As soon as a little water mixes with the oil it looks nasty.  Clean the mess and go from there.   Keep us up to date.

Yea. Im sure its something simple.  No reason to over think this one. Rule out all the easy/stupid stuff first.
