Does it look like it's coming from the oil cooler, the round thing about the size of the oil filter located just behind the real oil filter. If so there is an O-ring behind it which seals it to the block. That O-ring gets hard from the heat and stops sealing. Good news, it's a $5 part; bad news it's a pita to replace.
BTW this is for the 3.0, if you have a 4 banger then it may not apply.
