Oil Leak - from vacuum pump o-ring?

I've been looking around on where an oil leak is coming from on my 2011 Mini Cooper and would love some confirmation. I'm think it's coming from the vacuum pump o-ring; I have a pool of oil to the right of it (green square - I cleaned up most of it). Any ideas if this is correct? Thanks for your time.

Looks like you have an N16 MINI engine?
