Oil leak

I thibk have an oil leak in the back of the valley..i think it is on passenger side. Think that it is leaking down onto my starter. Only reason I am not sure is ai just had the under carriage oiled and waxed. The oil that was used resembles motor oil when it gets dirty.
What are some common leaks in that area, turbo? Valve covers? Etc..

Any leak from the top of the motor will run down in the exact same area you describe. Plugs that were mentioned, turbo o rings, hpop, hpop lines all possible sources of oil. Clean the valley out real good, and then check where you see fresh oil to help narrow it down.
