Default Oil leak, video inside

My 535xi has a leak. I noticed today while just inspecting my car. It is not leaking on the oil filter, but it is leaking somewhere in the oil filer area. Which of these gaskets would be causing the issue if anyone has an insight? And no I'm not going to the stealership, I never go there for anything.

Here is a link the a video i made so you can see where it is oily

I had a similar leak and the dealer replaced all the oil filter housing gaskets and o rings. Seems to be a common issue.
