Mid left side engine oil leak

Scooter (wife's name for X5) has been parked for almost two weeks. Still waiting on GMIII repairs. Hopefully, the module will ship back this week. During this time, the power steering reservoir and returns hoses were replaced. The steering oil leak is now fixed. During this time, a mid LEFT side engine side has a few drips. The OFHG fixed the 1 quart per 500 miles issue. Now a smaller one is 1/2 quart per 800-1000 miles. What leaks oil when the engine is not running? Is oil puddling up somewhere? I'll keep watch over it. Maybe it's just residue but didn't see it drip at the new location for week. However, the carboard underneath caught the power steering and engine oil drip. I cleaned the engine side when the oil housing was out. What should I check?
