Welcome to V8 ownership Gszus. 
There are many different places it could be leaking from. The best thing to do is to jack it up and see where the leak is coming from. You probably want to open the hood and remove the air box to see if you can tell from the topside where the leak is coming from also.
I hope it is a failed oil breather hose ($50US), but worse case scenario it could be the rear main seal which would require removing and reinstalling the transmission (an 11 hour job when the experts do it) after you replace the $100US RMS plate assembly…
Have a look at where the leak is coming from and let us know.
Good luck,

It could also be power steering fluid leaking onto the manifold. I had this happen on my car. I had a guy look at it he said it was a rear main seal. 1000 dollar job, went to a audi guy told me it was a power steering line showed me the crack and put in a new one. This is the line behind the master cyclinder, it runs up and around check to make sure this isnt leaking. Also when the fluid is burning what does it smell like because oil, power steering, anti freeze all have distinct smells.
