I have cleaned the engine and inspected a few times now and am pretty sure that the oil is comming from the end of the dip stick tube. I can see a drop of oil hanging from the loop on the dip stick when I stop and if I clean that off it will be there at the next stop. The engine itself doesn't seem to get any oil on it, just the sheet metal below the dip stick "loop".
