Any idea where this oil could be coming from and how to fix it? Didn’t see anything by on where it could be coming from.

 

Rather braud area your questioning here?? I can hit you with the usual suspects though for oil leaks/seapage. Valve cover gasket, oil pressure sending unit, oil filter, oil filter adapter O-ring (this is the think that mounts to the side of the block and kicks that oil filter parallel to the engine block) oil pan, crank seal at the harmonic balancer. Could even be that it looks like your dipstick tube is partially pulled out of the block?

 

Start at the top and work your way down. If you've not changed it, I'd guess valve cover gasket.
