Hard to locate this oil leak

I'm hoping you guys can give me a heads up on what this leak may be. Most times but not always when I drive the car, a few minutes after I park it I find this oil puddle under the car. I've put the car in the air, and the obvious things like valve covers, plug tubes, etc are dry. The whole cylinder head area of the engine is dry. It is by the inside of the passenger rear wheel. It seems to be coming from above, but for the life of me I don't see where it's coming from. The top of the aluminum diagonal brace is wet with oil. I thought maybe the oil fill tube is leaking, but I have not added any oil. When the engine is run, does any oil get pushed up into the fill tube perhaps and is now leaking out? How do I get to the oil fill tube to check it? What else is up there that can leak? Any ideas anyone may have would be greatly appreciated. I'll try to attach a photo below. This photo was taken about 15 min after the car was driven.
