Default Question about oil leak?

Lately I've noticed a small greasey spot under my car and so I looked around under it and noticed I had an oil leak. It looks like it is coming from somewhere high and dripping down the passenger side of the motor. I felt the around the valve covers and couldn't feel any leaks. Does anyone have any ideas where it could be from? I think part of my pcv system could have a tear in it towards the back...could oil be leaking through that possibly? Thanks ahead for any help!

I'm hoping its anything but the rear main...It just doesnt seem like it's the rear main though because it looks like the leak is somewhere above the starter. Thanks for the help
