987 Boxster oil leak, ideas?

I just ran and got lunch. On the way back, I was running a little fast (about 4k-4.5k rpms). I'd thought things looked a little odd in my rear view a couple of times. When I got home and stopped, I instantly smelled oil smoke and noticed it mostly from the passenger's side. When I look around/through the pass's side rear wheel, I see some oil on the inside of the wheel well and most of the suspension and area under the engine.

So, I seem to have developed a leak on the passenger's side of the car that's dripping down. I "checked" (electronic only) the oil, and it says that it's full. I did have an oil change done not too long ago (<500 miles).

I'm working so I don't have time to crawl under the car.
