    I would try cleaning the whole bottom of the engine and then drive it again to make the oil start to seep again, then jack it up and look under it and see exactly where its coming from. Take pics if you want.

    Judging by that answer, doesn't sound like a very common place for a leak. The cars currently on blocks in my driveway right now. :P I have already removed the passenger side tire, cleaned the area in and around the oil filter, its not coming from the filter, as I originally thought, as I've had some shotty mechanics not tighten filters properly, but this one is fine. I don't see any drops coming from any higher into the engine then what I previously described. It seems to be coming from a hose (??) just to the inside of the filter, and its dripping down onto the axle shaft, then to the ground. It's small, I lose about a quart of oil, every 3 months or so.
