Rear engine and drivers side oil leak R55/N18

Happy Holidays, I have a oil leak going down the back and drivers side of my engine. Its not the valve cover but I do see oil around the thermostat housing and its
dripping onto the trans bell housing. Its not the oil filter housing, I checked that. Are there oil lines or valves in that area?

I was just watching a video on that. I'll remove the hoses and take a look. Thanks!

I don't have pics because I can't find the leak. The space is too tight. I'll get under the car and check. That link seems to be what I'm talking about. Thanks!!
