Dave,

Please, it's Westfalia. :-)

Do the wipedown procedure and get some of that foaming engine degreaser (3M makes a decent one), and then trace the leak.

If it's coming from under the tin on the driver's side, it could be the oil pressure sender. That's an easy fix.

Otherwise, it could be pushrod tubes (under the engine tin, both sides), crank pulley seal (back, center), high-pressure oil sender (listees: do the Digijets have the same "dynamic" oil pressure system?) or something up front.

Also, if the PO didn't use a copper crush ring on the oil pan drain plug, it could be coming right out of there.
