Default 2011 durango oil leak

I have a 11 durango 3.7 v6 citadel, has 65000mi on it and went out to change oil and noticed that there is oil pooled up in areas up by the oil filter canister. I've never noticed this before so i pulled the engine cover off and it was on the bottom side of the cover also. Not sure where its coming from, anyone else having this issue???

Have you contacted your servicing dealer? Your vehicle still has powertrain warranty remaining.

Who did your last oil change? Dealer did mine once and there was a problem with the O-ring. Oil was everywhere. Went back to doing it myself.

I did the last oil change and didn't notice anything last time. There wasn't anything up by the canister cap, just down further on intake and bottom side of engine cover. It was really odd, i figured it would have been down the canister tube but didn't look like it. Dealer said they will cover a defective part but either way I had to pay diagnostic time, seemed odd
