Another idea is that the sump plate was not properly sealed or torqued.
Another idea is that the front crank seal is seeping.
Recommendation:
Remove the engine access panel behind the seats.
Look for oil running down from above the drips.
Clean ALL of the oil that you can find.
Remove the plastic panel and clean it.
Run the engine to warm up, but do not drive it.
Look for drips.
Let the car sit for a day or two with the cover off, then look again for new drips.
