Question Help Mystery Oil Leak!!

Ok for some reason my car is leaking oil from somewhere and it only leaks while the car is off. i looked under the car and it isnt coming from the oil return line i cant find anywhere it could be coming from. it weird when i wipe the oil off on the oil pan and it stays away and doesnt leak anymore. i checked the dipstick and there is a lil more then full. could that be the reason?
