Oil Leak - Back pass the oil pan

When I change the oil, I noticed an area back passed the oil pan, what looks like a frame bracket that is wet from oil. It appears that the leak is coming from above, but not sure where. Are there any members that might be having the same problem and know where the leak maybe coming from? Thanks for everyone's help.

Sounds like the differential bushing in the rear sub-frame popped. It'll leak fluid down the SF and make a general mess.

That's some heavy duty grease that leaks from the bushing not oil like he describes. Oil leaks move when the car is going down the road, could be something as small as a oil filter leaking or valve cover gasket. Each of those would end up past the oil pan like he posted. I'd get the G on a rack and find out where it's coming from!
