Check my post for the camshaft sensor leak I just posted (with pictures). Start there.

Engine timing cover seal?

Check your power steering pump oil level if you have hydraulic power steering.

The 2 hoses shown by OP is from the transmission, so that is trans oil cooler

matebbal

If I were you I would do this :
01. Assume that is the highest probability as actual leak point, and you are not seeing plenty of liquid oil on you plastic under carriage cover for front bumper... clean it first and wait.

02. Get a white cloth rag, not tissue, cloth. Do a single wrap of white rag and use cable tie to secure it. Make the rag long enough extend towards engine, as such it is then visible to you seeing from above
as you open the hood and without needing to remove the plastic under carriage. The white rag will absorb further leak, if any. And you can see it from above to do routine inspection till
full confimation on how bad the leak actually is.


I never dismantled that connection, so I do not know how the sealing works, sorry.

Clean the oil, wrap the fittings with paper towels and recheck after few minutes of driving.
The air under the hood swirls in very strange directions, so the oil can show long way from actual leak.

if you suspect it IS engine oil, visit a local auto parts store, and get a little vial of fluorescent oil dye. clean the area thoroughly, put the contents of the vial iin the oil filler cap and drive around for a day, then park the car in the dark and use a ultraviolet flashlight, the source of the leak should be very evident. I'd say you could do the same with the transmission fluid using a different color dye, but there's no transmission dipstick to introduce it.

I am curious on how that unique fittings works.
Some photos here I found.
