Default Leak under front left side

2007 Volvo S60 AWD

There is what seems to be an oil leak that appears under the car on the left side front of the engine, maybe one foot back. At first I thought it was water from condensation here in Florida, but it is oily. I have posted a picture to give an idea of where it is. I don't see anything dripping from above. Any ideas of what it could be?

Maybe a heater line leak. If it's antifreeze, that's probably it. The go from the firewall to the block in about that area.

If it's very oily, the maybe a leaky trannsmission.

If it's the real deal oily, then maybe it's the camshaft seals under the variable valve timing pickup.

Heater hoses are toward the back, not front.

Front cam seals are toward the passenger side.

Could be the radiator, transmission (pan is common) lower radiator hose or trans cooler hose. No way to tell from that picture.

Sorry for not replying sooner. I will take it in for service since I have a very slow coolant leak, anyway. So maybe it is the radiator hose or associated leak, even though it did not feel, smell, or look like coolant, though.
