Common area for leak. I have the same issue that started with my previous oil change last winter. I didn't see it from my most recent change (week ago) after a 150 mile drive
First is to determine if it is coming from somewhere above and ending up there
Otherwise you may find it is coming from the Transmission/engine joint.
That is where mine comes from but only after I drive it.
I'm going with a leaking RMS, as it only happens after I drive it, never from just sitting. The RMS is much higher and does not sit in sump oil
It could also be the IMSB plate that has 'O' ring seals and a Bolt. I am thinking that if this is the source of the leak, it would leak even sitting as this sits lower and I believe partially sits in standing sump oil
