Leaking oil! Not sure where it's coming from.

When I had my speed sensor changed, I noticed oil residue near the engine. I took a couple of pictures. I'm not sure where to start. Here's the picture.



Notice the pulley belt is on the right.



Here's a close up shot. I'll check the transmisson and engine fluid tomorrow. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

spray everything down with brake cleaner to get rid of the oil residue. Then put a piece of cardboard underneath of it over night. Go out the next morning and pinpoint the leak. Not too sure from those photos, but I had some oil leaking from my oil sending unit, and couldn't pinpoint it for a while because the oil went everywhere too.
