mystery oil leak

while changing the oil this weekend I noticed a tiny drop of oil on the o2 sensor wire that crosses over the transmission and no where else. I wiped it down drove until today put it on ramps and its back again. I can not see any place it could be coming from. Any ideas?

I'm guessing its the passenger side O2 sensor and possibly the valve cover gasket is leaking.

If it's not the V Cover gasket my second guess would be the rear main seal. Mine is leaking a tiny bit. Dang German cars. A zillion innovations and not one very reliable . They make a nice car though.
