Oil leak on drivers side. The drips collect on the motor mounts. Can you tell me where this leak might be coming from?

Hello,

That leak can be from the valve cover gasket.
Best course of action would be to do a thorough inspection of that side of the engine to see if you can determine where the leak is coming from. You can also add oil dye. This can make it easier to find the leak.

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
