I need a little help with oil leak...
The oil pan around the top is dry it seem to be coming from inside. Is there a seal on the inside?

Rear main seal would be my guess if that's at the rear of the engine where it meets the trans.

No it's the passage side axle that goes through the oil pan. 3.0 motor.

I'd check your valve cover gasket out, the M54 is known to leak there especially when the CCV is starting to fail.
Also if you're having oil from the drivers side of the car it's probably the oil filter housing gasket.

Thanks. I just got it a couple weeks ago trying to get all the bugs worked out. I have a valve cover and the oil filter gasket I haven't installed them yet. I cleaned the motor up this passed weekend so I could see where the oil was coming from. It seems to be dry around the valve cover and the oil filter gasket but I am going to change then anyway. I will check around will a mirror this weekend and see if I can find where is coming from.

I wouldn't tear into it if you can't find the leak right away, it could save you some headaches. Just my suggestion lol.

There's an o-ring seal behind that axle housing. you need to remove the drive axle and four bolts will get the axle housing off. While you are at it replace the differential seal that the drive shaft runs through.

You know I thought that, and it would make sense as that is exactly were it looks like the oil is coming from. However I was under the impression the axle runs through a cavity in the oil pan that is dry, so I'm not sure were the oil would be coming from if it was making it past the o ring. I don't see any oil between the pan and block and it is definitely not coming from up top. Heck there isn't even any oil on top of the support bracket. It just keeps accumulating at the bottom exactly like the picture in the first post.
