Could be loose bolts on the AFC housing, could be a cracked gov housing, could be the timing pin plug fell out, tappet cover is leaking, oil line to the vac pump, etc. Best bet it is to crawl underneath and have a good look. Washing it off first would help. If its a real big leak, shouldn't take much run time for it to start showing again.

Could also be the oil feed line to the IP or the tappet cover behind the IP. Another problem area is the rubber seal between the vacuum pump and the power steering pump.

Do your KDP too if you havent already done it, as this could lead to another, much more expensive leak.
