Area above the oil filter is the oil cooler.I think there is a hose connection to the cooler but I think that's the coolant hose.Guess you have to look at that area with the help of a torch light and a inspection mirror to see where the oil is coming from.
Hope this help.

Sounds like it could be the front crank seal.
