Oil Leak ??

I have 16 K on the truck and have not had a single problem. I just changed the oil, filter and fuel filter 1,000 miles ago. Today I noticed that my fender wells, on the drivers side, both front and back are wet with oil. Not the entire fender well but fron the outside in approximately 6". I crawled fron one end of the truck to the other and could not find anything. I pulled the dip stick and I was on the low side of the operation range.

What is the tube that runs down by the starter, it looks wet, not sure if that is it, I would think if it was that it would be wet towards the center of the truck not the outside edge. Anyone know what it could be?
