I took the car out yesterday and noticed a small leak on the driveway. Does anyone have any idea what this can be? I pinpointed location (see images). Thank you for the help!

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Clean up the area with some brake cleaner and see if it is leaking at the chain tensioner bolt, or right above it - the AOS. Bet it is coming either from the AOS or the AOS bellows that is right above that point.
Thanks. It's pretty dry all around, so seems to the tensioner bolt. I assume I'm ok with driving like this for a bit.
Never assume...
Could be crank seal at flywheel
If you think it is the chain tensioner bolt, you could check to make sure it is "snugged" up. Find the correct socket size and give it a little snug tighten. Do not remove the chain tensioner as you have to lock the engine and cams to do that.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
