Default cant seem to find oil leak

Hello, Perhaps someone here can me...
I have a 2000 s40...
I just started to smell oil burning *very slight* and noticed that there is oil leaking underneath the passenger side front wheel, but i cant seem to find the source of the leak...*yikes* but oil is definitely leaking somewhere as i can see the wheel struts have oil on them... any help would be great :-)

thanks

Cam seals are common to leak.
