It is probably coming from your pedestal up above the starter. The "O" rings are probably leaking.. It is pretty common to have a leak here. Double check your engine valley for oil however..(could be your hpop if you have oil in the valley) . My petestal is leaking a littel but not enough to change the o rings yet.

I'm sorry too, I love this post, and only wish I had beat you to it. That is a great photo in the post above, but how in the Hell did you do that?

.Okay, now that sounds a little easier, but both times I've changed my starter I've been occupied doing just that. But i'ts still a good photo, why you did it, let alone saved it is kind of a mystery, but to each his own.

are you sure its (oil)?
just today i had a new (ground) leak and it was coming off the starter. but the puddle was fuel. above the starter, on the back of the engine is a fuel return line. you can follow it from the fuel filter housing. anyway it somehow was 1/8 of a turn loose. tightend it, and no more leak.
