Lightbulb 2005 LR3 Oil Leak

When I bought my LR3 in November, I didn't have any oil leak problems. However, the other day I noticed a few drops of oil on my garage floor.

It appeared to be dripping down from the driver's side just in from the wheel well so I crawled under the driver's side of the truck and noticed oil collecting on one of the arms that goes to the front driver's side wheel (sorry, I'm not a mechanic so I don't know the terms).

I took a picture of it and marked where the oil is dripping from. This is on the front driver's side -- I was laying under the running board by the driver's side door:


There are no other visible signs of oil leaking around the engine -- of course, I did not take off the skid plate yet so I can't see much around the engine but wherever I could see, I did not find any oil signs.

Any suggestions on where the oil may be leaking from? The truck is due for an oil change anyway so I'll have the guys in the shop look at the leak but I'd still be interested if anyone knows what may be the problem.

Thanks,
- Justin
