A little piece of foam hanging under driverside front bumper and soaked with oil
Curious what is this foam about? The most thing that worries me is that this piece of foam is soaked with oil, and seems like it is engine oil because I tried to wipe it with tissue and it looks brown. No oil around oil pan, just this small area. Can it be leaking from this side of the oil pan gasket?

I think the foam is a vibration damper for the plate it's still partially attached to. Hard to say if there's an oil leak or just a careless spill from a previous oil change.

You can take it out and wash it then fit it back and see if it fills with oil again but I wouldn't worry too much about it.
