Oil leak?

[2014 LEX 570 GA]

Noticed some spotting in the garage and looks like the skid plate is a little wet - any ideas?

Pull the splash shields and have a look. 10 and 12mm nuts.

Oil change recently?

Likely the oil filter is leaking in that spot. Agreed with Bloc, will need to pull the skid plates to diagnose.

Do you guys think this is an oil leak as well?
i am looking at purchasing this one, but now I’m wondering.

Definitely a leak going on there. It could be from a monkey with a toolbox cracking the plastic oil filter housing, or an actual engine leak.

At least that frame looks clean.

Maybe they didn’t place/seat the big o-ring correctly on the plastic oil filter housing during the last oil change? That is easy to check/fix. And you will only loose maybe 1/2 qt. of oil in the process.

Thanks again guys. Got the front skid plates removed, the leak was definitely from the oil filter housing but it must have been fixed a while ago.
I appreciate the comments on the clean frame. Last week I ended up buying this 15’ LC w/82k on it.
