Oil Leak Update
About a month ago finally degreased and clean engine.
I don't drive it a lot but for 100 miles I had smoke free drivIng!!! Today I see the oil has been leaking a bit more right where exhaust bolts on to the front passengers side. When exhaust gets hot. Oil drops on it and it smokes up through fender well. Really smelly and smokey!

If you turn the car right side up you might have better luck finding leaks...

LOL^^^
looks like a classic Triangle of Death on top of your engine. Breather Gasket, Oil Light Gasket and/or Thermostat Seal. Take a mirror and check back there. I bet it will be wet.

Could also be the oil cooler O rings or the cooler itself leaking.

2nd thought, looking at the upside down pic. I can see what Pete3799 is saying the leak looks like it is pretty directly below the oil cooler seals. If it was the triangle it will be more settled around the front of the case.
Good call Pete.

Oil dripping on heat exchanger is one thing. On exhaust pipe... not good.

Shoved a flashlight and go pro in the back and underneath. Don't know if this shows anything or not.

Yeap, triangle of death.
That is your breather. Now beside the gasket, it could be that particular breather hose. Below and to the right are the thermos stat and oil idiot light switch. There is dimple on the breather fitment, if the clamp is riding on it you will get a massive leak as the rubber has not sealed. Common mistake when working blind with the engine in the car. What I would do is clean the area and run her and monitor to pin point which component is actually leaking before swapping out. It could be a simple re-postion of the breather hose onto the breather cover.
