Hello Mark.
The next most common thing I would look into here is the oil pressure sensor. They sometimes pull apart and leak at the seam.
Your 2 liter engine has it's sensor on the top left side of the cylinder head.
If the concentration of oil seems to be on the top side of the engine a valve cover gasket may have cracked.
A severe leak will often wash dirt off of an engine so look for an oil washed area. If nothing apparent it may be a good idea to give your engine a quick cleanup to help you find the leak as oil can travel a long way on an engine.
Hope you find the source OK.
Thank you for using FixYa!
Mark, after driving the vehicle for at least 20 minutes towards the evening when you are going to park it for the night, slip a clean piece of cardboard under the front end large enough to cover the entire area under the engine,next morning do not remove the cardboard from under the vehicle but inspect the cardboard for the oil drops and their related location just above where they are on the cardboard but on the underside of your car. Good luck!
