the r/h (passenger side) rear of engine (front of car). it's not uncommon for the valve cover gasket to be leaking there. relatively easy fix changing the gasket and cleaning the mounting surfaces.
as far as leaks from around the filter go, if you recently had the oil/filter changed, it may have not been tightened completely or there may be some grit under the filter seal preventing it from sealing completely.
also possible are leaks from the pump o-ring or the crankshaft seal itself, as well as from the oil cooler hose connections. another place may be the oil pressure sender on the filter housing.
just a few ideas of places to look, you could also try cleaning the engine with simple green or gunk and washing it off and then running the car to get an idea of the trail of oil without any other crud in the way.
