Oil Leak?
I noticed a fresh small oil stain on my garage floor below the rear left side of my car. I poked around and found this area with an oily residue. The area of concern is at the top center of the photo. Can anyone tell me what it is that's likely leaking? TIA!

Hard to tell from the photo, but it doesn't strike me as oil. Looks more like coolant. Is it possible the stain on the floor was from coolant instead of oil? Lots of coolant related things sit on the left of the car.
What is the year model of the car?

Update: SA says that it is indeed oil leaking, and that the leak is from a bad seal on the high pressure fuel pump. (?) The pump was previously replaced under "recall" campaign. This one will be replaced under warranty.
