Default 502MAG very small oil leak

I have noticed a very small drip of oil below my port engine on the outside opposite the starter. I think I can see a little drip on a flat edge towards the back maybe part of the bell housing? Any ideas would be much appreciated. The engines were just put in 65 hours ago. Thanks.

Everything was re-torqued at 15 or 20 hours. Is there anything that can loosen over time? This little bit of oil drives me nuts as Im a fanatic about clean.

So this is on the port side of the port engine. Right?

Check the bottom of the bellhousing if its wet could be a rear main. I hope not.
