What is leaking oil? (Pictures inside)

Just recently had an oil leak after changing the oil filter. Thought it might be the filter, but it seems dry. It seems to be leaking on the backish right side. I took two pictures: - Album on Imgur

It almost looks like that pipe is dripping oil. Any ideas as to what it is?

I took some pictures from the top of the engine and I'm wondering what it could possibly be. It's a 986 porsche boxster.

Here is an overall view, the red is where it looks wet and the purple is where it's dry. http://i.imgur.com/Q86Vlwp.jpg

It seems to be mostly wet on the driver side, but there is a small part on the passenger side which is a tiny bit wet. The far passenger side is dry though.

[This is the passenger side of the engine](http://i.imgur.com/FcshPJX.jpg) It's hard to tell but it is dry.

[This is the driver side of the engine](http://i.imgur.com/wudSFsd.jpg) which you can compare and see it's quite wet. [Another view of the driver side](http://i.imgur.com/1Mz4wDa.jpg)

And this is the tubing that looks like it connects to the power steering where a [part of it looks a bit wet](http://i.imgur.com/uHvKGPX.jpg) compared to the rest of the tube

Any idea as to what could be the problem?
