Oil in this location is often valve cover or rear main seal. Rear valve cover leaks can be pretty deceptive unless you just get your hand back there. Generally, it's pretty obvious when ATF is leaking.
Will definitely check the rear valve cover and main. Going to be super bummed if they are leaking as they motor only has 3k on it! Although the packing sheet did say that it was assembled in 2017 so it sat on a shelf in germany for 5 years before I bought it.
