is it my oil pen that is leaking?? please help
i tried to look around and went under the car as well, is it oil pen or something else i need to check. top of the engine i found no leak. my car 2006 GS300 AWD. did anyone see this before? i thought my car was burning oil but didn't really look around to see if there was oil leak. by the way i didn't see any oil on my garage floor and thought maybe car didn't leak oil 
that black looking thing is the oil pen in the picture

It seems to go farther than the oil pan (your oil leak) and stop midway somewhere.
I would wipe off the excess oil from that area (rag and brake cleaner) and drive it 1-2 days and check along the way to rule out where the leak is coming from.
It COULD be your oil pan, or it COULD be something else spitting out oil you don't know of.
I'm no expert, so I'd give it over to a local mechanic if you're not comfortable doing this.
EDIT: I'm not sure if this is the location, but it might be your rear main seal. If that is the case, your transmission has to come out.
