'04 XC90 2.5T AWD Oil leak, not sure where from

I just bought this not long ago and discovered an oil leak toward the front of the vehicle. It looks like the skid plate is catching most of it and I am not sure how severe it is. I am checking oil level daily and it seems to be doing fine, right where it should be. I am including photos to help with the diagnosis.Thank You for taking the time to look at this issues and with helping to remedy. The vehicle has 163k and the timing belt was replaced at 121k. I had a rough idle issue not too long ago and the culprit was a faulty boot that had a tear around the ignition coil. It has been running really smoothly and steadyly after the fix and I am still in awe of it and very pleased especially knowing what a steal it was on the local craigslist here in Columbus.

I have similar oil leak, I think it is from the Turbo Pipe and is considered "normal".
Just wipe it clean and monitor the leak.
