Just noticed this today,im guessing its the dreaded Drc,what say you knowledgeable bunch?
Does it look like a place where the system would leak from?

Inclined to agree. Is the oil on the under tray? If the DRC was leaking I'd expect it to be knocking; mine did.

Yeah,its on the undertray, doesn't seem to be very much.
I had the oil cooler pipes replaced 5 months ago,so I guess the likely culprit is the cooler itself then.

Car went in today,turned out to be power steering fluid leaking on to the oil cooler then down to where you see in the picture.
Could of been a lot worse,so happy with that outcome.
