This is just a stab in the dark but maybe one of the bolts is missing a washer or its worn.

Hey dude if it by the oil filter it may be the stock oil cooler kit it has 2 water pipes running to it take a pick and post
But remember just cos it looks like its from the bolt doesn't mean that it is water is one of the hardest things to trace where a leak starts just tighten the clamps and look for small tear

K kwl will try and post a pic 2moro reason why i think its for sure there is that there a build up of brown rust water paste were the water droplets form from, started leaking after i gave it a good service when i put radiator flush in so i think the rust paste prevented it from leaking and the radiator flush cleand the rust away in turn leaving a gap for water to seap threw
