Anyone know why this is happening? No oil leaks anywhere, and dipstick is good.

Hard to tell where it's coming from as it looks like it's been blown about. You may need to clean it off and see if it comes back.
I have several times. That's the weird part. Not sure exactly where it's coming from. Maybe just a slight faulty gasket?

I had mine do that. It was the oil cap o-ring. I replaced it with a slightly larger one.
It looks like you have the older turbo feed line. The seals on those have been known to leak.
Have you checked the cover bolts. See if any are loose. Could also be another PCV issue either in cover or intake manifold.

His un-insulated oil feed line should be under warranty or a recall too, right?
I would check the cover bolts, wipe everything down, use some soap and water but don't rinse just wipe, get it as clean as possible, turn her over, once she is warmed up take her around the block and when you come back the spots that become saturated will be your problem areas, to me it looks like the cover isn't tightened or the gasket may be cracked and worn, I could be wrong but it's free to try lol

I had this on my 2011 and the only fix is to replace the cover which comes with a new gasket. Takes less than a hour to do. If its still under warranty have the dealer do it for free.
