I changed my differential fluid a few days ago and made sure my engine oil was full took about 1/2 quart. I noticed a oil spot in my drive way last night and decided to go under the car and see what if i could figure out where it was coming from. i went and looked at the rear differential and it is fine so i went under the front left and found this.
I checked my oil today and it is half way down the dipstick but it was kinda cold and i checked it hot last time. Also i cannot find where the oil is coming from there is none coming from the engine. And all the places that have oil on them have barriers that the oil if coming from the engine would not be able to pass.

Sorry for the images being so big i swore i resised them.

You need to resize them down to about 400 X 600 pixels. They are so big, I can't get a good read on exactly what I'm looking at.

OK resized

Only on the driver's side? Any indication of oil spillage inside the engine bay? You didn't lose your oil fill cap, did you?

If it's on both sides did you consider checking the oil filter to see if it's backed out? Someone else recently had this happen to them.

Ok oil cap is there and on correctly so is the oil filter. and yes it is only on the drivers side.
Also when i changed my differential fluid i ran over like 1/2 quart bottle and got some on the tire but not ass much ans i am seeing on the underside of the car.

If you can't find an "origin" for this leak from the typical places where oil would come from, you should assume this is what happened. A little oil looks like a lot of oil when it's plastered on your car in places it shouldn't be. I suggest you do to a wand car wash and use the hot water to clean all that off. If it's leaking from the car, it'll come back pretty quick.
Odd that you didn't mention you ran over 1/2 a qt of fluid.

To be honest... It looks like the residual effect of running over a 1/2 quart of oil.
