Hopefully andy is right...Mine is a cracked valve cover leak in the
front, pools by #3 plug. Took a while to track out, clean synthetic oil
in the car, couldn't see the run.
Try the poor man's Magnaflux. Spray it down with brakekleen to remove
any oil. Dry with some air. Then get some old fashioned aerosol spray
antiperspirant, foot powder, Desinex, anything that will leave a dry
white powder coating. Fire it up, look for the crack, it will turn
brown from the oil, or show the trail if it's runoff. Cleans off with
soap and water, and as a bonus smells nice.

It is dripping down from the valve cover gasket.
