Ditto the oil lines, or possibly a leak at the front fittings that is "traveling" down the line where it drops at the loop under the jacking point.

what is the "driver side" in spain? a right side jack point area leak is usually related to the oil tank hoses.

You can jack the back of the car from the botom of the engine, and put jackstands under the torsion bar caps. Then you could crawl under and have a look. I like to pad the jack.

My '92 had a horrible leak in front of the right rear wheel. It was the oil hoses. When I replaced them they were so brittle, when you bent them the rubber portion snapped in half.
Not a fun project but certainly necessary.
