Default Oil leak question/help

Happy holidays everyone. Just looking for some help. I completed fixing most of the oil leaks. Changed the upper and lower oil pan(pain in the....) but o got it done. But I see oil coming from the radiator channel and electric fNs even though everything else is nice and dry. I have checked everywhere for this leak. It doesn’t make sense to see oil coming from radiator bottom channel. I don’t see oil in radiator. It’s not smoking, I have cleaned it with brake cleaner several times only to find it like this. I thought maybe it’s pressure only when driving so I have it up and jack stands and had someone rev it while I looked around and can’t see oil anywhere. Any thoughts? The next step was to remove electric fans and see what else I can see behind. Thanks

Are you sure it is engine oil?

if so isn't there an oil cooler mounted near the radiator ?

It’s not red like the power steering. Plus it’s still full. It’s brown. Are there any oil lines that run under the power steering reservoir? Really not sure where it’s coming.
