too difficult to tell from that picture. could be any of those. as can only see the bottom of the enigne. could be coming from anywhere above that.

See if you can trace it further up. If you can't find any oil further up just dump some RTV gasket on the sump seam, and see how you go. Replacing the sump gasket is worth more pain than putting up with a couple of oil drips.
