Get is cleaned up and you should be able to pinpoint the suspected leak.

Oil pan bolts would be my guess. My 2008 was fine but wifes 2012 they were loose?

So to basically let you all know: tightening the bolts fixed the problem 100% there are no more oil leaks. Let the riding begin!

I'd go with the loose pan bolts,but also could be some residual oil from replacing the oil filter. You always lose at least a few drops during filter change.
