I think the area you're pointing at is a brake line to the back of the car.
I think your oil is coming from above - most likely a bad turbo drain pipe seal or a blown rear cam seal. They're both common culprits.
Get the nose of the car up on a curb or something and get under it with a flashlight so you can better pinpoint the area the oil is leaking from.

Also, if you have not service the PCV system lately you need to do so. It can cause blown seals.
