If from the right side it could be the oil tank leaking. Check to lower panel under the tank.

There was also a problem with the pan having really small stress cracks in them in an area that is not easy to see.

I had the same problem last year. Never saw any oil until sled warmed up and noticed small crack on the right side of oil tank. At first, I thought it was the hose until I removed the tank.
