3.4 ltr Oil leak / Seepage

Any ideas on an oil leak on the left bank (USDS) on this motor?

I have a new (to me) 4Runner that has signs of seepage on the USDS lower engine and under carriage. No leaks on the ground. Ideas?

is it from the oil filter being removed?

if it's anything like my motor, pretty much nice sludge below the oil filter. The oil filter comes off horizontal and likes to leak down the side. just a guess. if it isn't leaving anything on the ground I wouldn't worry too much.

Check your valve covers too. You'll most likely be able to turn the bolt heads quite easily.
