It could be an oil pan leak. If you do decide to take the pan off, you'll have to remove the downpipe and partially drop the subframe. The little cover on the transmission that partially hides a couple of bolts will need to come off, too. After removing all of the bolts on mine,I had to pop it loose with a big screwdriver. There are a couple of protrusions on the pan that make it easy. If you just put the sealant on the pan and then raise it into place, you won't be working against gravity, and make sure to use anaerobic sealant, not RTV. Any RTV that squeezes out into the inside of the pan will harden into rubber strips and float around inn your engine. Anaerobic sealant stays in liquid form and will drain out with your oil.
