Next time. Mark the ground where a front tires sits. Use this as a reference line. Back the car up. See where the oil spot is on the ground. Measure the distance to the line from the front tires. Doing this can pin point where the leak is dripping from the bottom of the car. Is the drip in front of the front tires, or behind them?
Benibiker and vtec to vvel like this.

I’m going to try this. The drip is more so towards the rear of the front tires, but not completely. It’s near about where the drain plug area is roughly.
