Whatcha think guys? Oil leak...

48k miles
stock turbos mods on signature

2 years ago I had my dealership tech look for an oil leak that left a dime or two sized drops if it sat for a week....he found clean oil, about a table spoon on top of the crankcase after removing the AC compressor for visualization. No mechanical issues to date. Just watch my levels always!

Presently, its maybe a quarter size or two. The underside of the crankcase is wet with oil almost always. No excessive consumption noticed.

Is there a oil tube/reservoir above the engine that could cause this? Maybe a tube that is leaking onto topside of the engine?

I want to get the FVD tune but think that this leak, coil packs, and plugs need to be addressed first....thoughts?

thanks in advance!

brockster take and pic of where you're noticing the oil on the crank shaft and post it. you'll likely get a more accurate evaluation of the issue.
