Hello.

I notice a small oil leak under the AC condenser. I don't think it's from the condenser but I've no idea really.

Are you sure that's where it came from? That large black rubber hose looks like it may be getting wet. The question becomes from above or below - or is it the cause? If it were be I'd wipe everything off, drive it again and then inspect again.

It looks like oil leaking from the turbo intercooler. With the amount of oil on the pipe it looks like you have a fair amount in the intercooler and there is a weep hole near the lowest point near the inlet pipe from the turbo.
