Found the area of the oil leak
So about 3 months after my last oil change i got the notification of add 2 quarts. well i added 1 and havent gotten it since but i can smell the oil burning. sometimes in the cabin so i have to turn the filter on. Well i changed the oil tonight and found what looks like the main area of interest. its relatively dry everywhere else but here. does anyone have ideas as to what can be leaking? The pictures are right under the splash guard where the drain plug is

I suggest cleaning the whole area up then running the engine & doing an inspection. The leak is most likely coming from above & running down. Make sure the drain plug copper washer is renewed.
A good torch & a mirror will help.
Good luck.
