Default Oil leak next to engine near the battery

I noticed an oil smell when I had my air on recirculation. Once I got stopped I checked the engine out and found fresh oil sitting on the driver side of the engine

Some spots are dry, leading me to believe that it's at least not spraying everywhere when I'm driving but it is soaked enough, telling me I should fix this as fast as possible.

I did recently do an oil change and the filter is dry.

From just looking, I can't tell where it could be coming from as nothing is obvious. Anyone dealt with this before?

Default What did you find?

I think I have an oil leak in the same area. Pumping out about a quart in an hour, leaving a nice string of crude whenever I move. What did you find?
