it looks like its runnin off of a lower motor mount or something like that.. is coming from the backside of the engine...but it seems like theres a fine coat of oil just covering much of the underbody of the car near the engine?

check all the main parts where it could be leaking, oil filter, headgasket, rear main seal. you knoe all the main places. or do what i did, clean off the whole engine reallt clean then run it for a day and see where its coming from

Has nothing to do with a oil catch can,that is only to prevent oil from getting into the manifold just clean and check for leaks hope you figure it out
