Default Rear main, upper oil pan, or valve cover
I’ve got a 2010 6 speed I just recently got and I’ve got a small oil seep. It doesn’t leak much at all but I’m trying to narrow down between the 3 leaks. Most my experience is older v8s so my question is does this look more like rear main, upper oil pan, or valve cover gaskets before I start cleaning and looking for new oil. I’m leaning more towards the rear main/upper oil pan in combination

It's common to have the source high up.
Do the clean up/look for now oil, as you suggest.
