Default oil puddle underneath engine near passenger wheel help!

Hello just went to take my Subaru WRX (2004) not sure if that relevant? out for a spin but noticed a puddle underneath the car next to the passenger front wheel. On closer examination it felt and smelt like oil so I checked the levels and they were fine. The amout of fluid was about an egg cup full, but I imagine any sort of leak is no good. Any help would be grateful.

Did you have your aircon on when you parked it up?
