Engine oil dripping from right side of radiator.

Appears to be engine oil. The car has been sitting all weekend and I'm seeing approx. 1-2 drips per day.

I can't really see what's leaking. Can someone educate me of what's is in that general area which would be suspect?

Note: Vehicle has 140k miles on it.

Might be transmission fluid coming from the transmission cooling lines. I don't think it would be motor oil down that low unless you spilled some or getting blowback from the oil pan, still unlikely. Leaning more towards the tranny lines. Get under there with good light and see where the drip is coming from. Pretty sure the cooling lines are on the right lower side of the radiator.
