Default 06 oil leak filter area

Oil continually collects and drips very small amounts from oil filter area. Parking lot where I park every day looks like s---t. Any thoughts?

Well its vague, but I'll take a whack at it. Here goes: loose oil filter, oil filter o-ring gasket not seated properly, O-ring gasket defective, loose threaded plug on top of oil filter housing, ruptured/ rupturing oil filter canister (what type of oil filter are you using?), turbo oil line fitting loose or defective causing leak at filter housing, leak somewhere on turbo oil line........damn, just brain farted

I have the same issue, but I think mine is the turbo feed line o ring or its loose. But mine is leaking at a very slow rate

The first thing is did it just start or is this an ongoing issue (through multiple oil changes)?
