There is what looks an electrical pump of some kind that us attached to the bell housing on the transmission. This part seems to be where my oil leak is originating from.

Any help would be appreciated, car is a 2003 G35 Sedan

That's your starter, definitely not leaking oil out of it. Look higher, probably the valve cover on that side.

EDIT: Go get an inspection mirror so you can see behind components better.

I replaced my starter a few months ago, and it was soaked in engine oil, from what looks like a leak at the cylinder head area/top of the engine. I believe my valve cover gaskets are the main source, though I believe that the o-ring seal on the cam position sensor may also be contributing.
