If it was engine oil from a diesel, it would be black, so I'm not sure it is.

Could be transmission oil leaking from the cooler. I had the exact same problem last month and it was a pig of a job to fix. Need to remove the underside cover and that will probably show where the source of the leak is |

Take a look around the rocker cover as it could be leaking from the gasket? 2009 Vogue TDV8 Nara Bronze

Also make sure it's not just clean oil where they have been a bit careless with an oil top up/ change. I've seen that before, when my mate thought he had an oil leak, explained that he had a very small, clean oil leak. After about 15 mins of checking all the usual places, all I could see was oil from this "leak" on the side of the engine. So we cleaned the engine bay, and hey presto no more leak. |

Most importantly check it's not brake fluid as that is a clean oil... And that amount on the floor could have catastrophic consequences...

It's probably the best car you'll ever own, just not the most reliable |

Thought it sounded similar to my little joyous leaks found today:
