Get under the car and look.
I don't mean to sound like a dick, but your post is really uninformative.

i dont need to because what can leak oil from that spot. i own an integra and oil never goes to that area... closest thing that can leak oil is my TURBO and thats like about 6+ inches away if i drew a line going all the way down hitting the floor where my turbo is and then a line to where the little oil spot is. and if i were to draw a line up where oil spot is it would be hitting my FMIC or my front bumper / headlight.

If you are so sure, why bother asking a question. Oil can leak and trickle into different places before it drips down to the ground.

Just get under the car and find the leak.

pull the hot side charge pipe to see if oil is in there. Maybe your turbo seals are leaking.
