Default Anyone ever see an oil leak down below, near the lower oil pan?

Got my car looked at the other day and they noticed there was a little oil around the oil pan area. It may have been blown back by the radiator fan, but we saw some oil near where the oil pan is bolted to the car and traces of oil on the bottom of the oil pan

There was also some oil in the housing in front of the front diff (bell housing?). It may have leaked down from the top somewhere?

Nothing hit the plastic cover, so the leak is ever so slight. One theory is that oil dripped down when they changed the oil filter in my last dealer oil change (about 4K ago).

Gonna get it looked at. Car is almost out of warranty. Anyone with similar issues? I've never really had to add oil between oil changes. Just about 3/4's of a quart once a year ago.

Thanks! Also, thanks to the guys at Streetwerke for checking out my car. I'll defintely be back!
