A side of engine oil leak could also eminate from a leaking cam cover gasket, which is common and I have a tiny drip on my driver's side that seems to come and go (it's probably there all the time, but I don't notice it or it burns off before it drips on my garage floor).

I also had a drip that appeared after oil changes for a week or so and I discovered it was a cracked oil filler tube. $125 later, it was fixed. No big deal.
