Default Cant find oil leak location or cause

Hello everyone! I own a 2016 F type V6S and I recently had to put it up on lift to do my monthly check up and noticed there is a small oil leak. I can confirm it is NOT coming from the oil pan, valve cover , or rear main seal. The leak seems to be coming from passenger side of the vehicle above the alternator. Can anyone help ? I will attach images below .

I believe the gear driven vacuum pump is right in that area? It does not look to be leaking BUT there are two O-rings on that pump and the small one on the vacuum hose looks a bit oily in your picture?

I have labeled your picture and it's not hard or expensive to replace BOTH the small and large diameter O-rings. I don't have part numbers for you but they are not difficult part numbers to find.



Note the large one goes under the pump and there are 2 bolts holding it in. If your gonna replace one then you might as well replace both of them.
If this is NOT your leak you won't have spent much replacing the 2 O-rings.

I agree as well. I did further research and found a video and the guy had a similar looking oil leak as mine. I will attempt to replace the vacuum pump gaskets in hopes of solving this issue! Thanks.
