06 Oil Leak - No Lift :(

06 Oil Leak - No Lift :(
I noticed that my wife's G35 leaked a few drops of engine oil on our garage floor over the last week or two. Not much, probably 7 or 8 drops -- I don't have a lift so I did the best I could to take some pictures.
I noticed a oily spot on the drivers side, but it doesn't appear that is the issue.

On the passenger side, and from the front I was able to see a bigger issue. I wasn't able to remove the bottom cover (not climbing underneath with the cheap tire jack...), but noticed quite a bit of oil underneath. I was hoping from the pictures someone might suggest the severity of the issue. I checked the oil w/ the engine cold and it was about 3/4 'full' -- so I assume the underside is probably not as bad as it looks.

I'd appreciate any suggestions, I initially thought it might be the oil cooler seal -- but I'm not sure if the amount of leakage matches. Anyway, I know the answer is probably "not enough information", but I thought it was worth a shot. I'd like to have some info before I take it to have someone look at it...
