I've had a small leak that I figured was the valve cover for a while, but been busy until lately so I just down and took a few pics tonight. I plan on driving the car up on ramps tomorrow to get a closer look.

I checked the oil level with the key on, and it says 'OK'. I last changed the oil about five months/2k miles ago. For what it's worth, I backed the car into the garage today and placed cardboard under it, and it's completely dry five hours later.. Please check out the pics on google drive! Thank you.

You show us pictures that look like the transmission pan to me,
the engine probably still has the plastic shield under it?
So Waldig is correct again, I would add pictures directly to the post instead of posting to a third party site, some people cannot be bothered to go to those sites.

Fix it like this.
