Leaking oil next to o2 sensor! Updated

Started the car this morning to go to work and I noticed a little whine on throttle. Got to work popped the hood and noticed a small amount of smoke from the passenger side by the direct injector ecu. Took some pictures tonight Any ideas.... car is a auto 28k miles.

update

So ended up having time to get the car up on jacks and removed the skid plate. It seems like oil is leaking out of the bottom even more on the drivers side then the passengers side.

Looks like valve covers maybe? Car is going to the dealer on Wednesday to get a look. Must be a slow ass leak or something as the dipstick level was fine.

Either the cam cover or timing cover, been through this way too many times, still have a minor leak. Seems like Toyota just can't get it right. Goodluck!
