I've got a vw golf with 79k miles on it, few months ago oil light came on and underneath noticed oil all over oil pan bolts, assumed gasket was bad so I replaced the gasket no leaks for 5k+ miles.
Today wife calls me while driving says the oil light came on. Had her pull over and put some oil in, drove home. Looking at it I have a hard timing telling where leak is from because she said she may have spilled some oil dripping down the side. While running can't see any drips anywhere.
Best way to troubleshoot this? Leak is so slow light seems to only come on right before oil change is due. Image links below

Well if you spilled any oil it would be a good first step to clean what you can off. Of course make note of where it was so you can look back and see if any new oil has appeared. Some degreaser soap will do the trick for that.
If you still happen to to notice oil leaking but not sure where, there is UV dye that can you add a bit to your oil so when it does leak, a black light will show you the origin.
