Engine oil leak

Hi! Looking to buy a 2002 V6 Space Gear and the shop I took it to for an inspection found a small engine oil leak (not dripping on the ground). The leak can be seen when laying down behind the driver-side wheel.

Hoping someone can help me shed some light on where this leak could be coming from. I talked to a few mechanics and they said it's most likely the valve cover gasket but said they couldn't be sure until they looked into it further, which is making me a little nervous. Seems to me the valve cover is nowhere near the leak. Could it be another gasket?

Any help is much appreciated!
