anyone have any ideas?
Check what grade of oil is in your power steering. That often leaks onto the top of the engine.

It is supposed to be pink transmission oil, and if it is pink you will know that's where your leak is from.

Sometimes dealers use power steering fluid by mistake. This is brown and could be mistaken for engine oil if it's leaking.
