Loose oil filter, oil fill plug, rear main, and oil lines to the remote filter location are all possible leak spots for the I5s.
To check for leaks the best way is to clean it first. Drop the front skid plate, go to the spray wash, first apply engine cleaner and let it sit, then spray clean so you can spot where it is originating from.

Those are transmission cooler lines that are leaking. Repaired mine 2 weeks ago. Proper way to fix is new trans lines and new fittings at the rad and transmission, but I am cheap and just did a repair. Carefully cut the crimp off the line and peel off the crimp and install new rubber line with two hose clamps. Ta-dah! My lines were rusted out on the bottom of the rad. I would look there before cutting any crimps. I used a couple pieces of 3" GM trans line repair and one fitting on the rad. Could not separate the old line from the fitting.
