Leak

Hello,
I noticed that on the right side of the engine cover, there's a stain. Upon touching it it seems somewhat oily, but I'm not sure. Relatively, everything looks dry, but I touched those two hoses that I marked in the photo, and they are "wet". Is anyone able to roughly locate the issue?
I had the coolant replaced at the service center two months ago, but I'm not sure if it could be related to that.

Best regards.

I would clean up everything, document the color, smell, taste (jk), etc. Paper towels are handy for seeing color.

Then monitor. There is a mess down there and it's hard to tell where it's coming from. Now that you can look daily or after every drive.

Light brown, with a texture reminiscent of oil. In another thread, someone suggested that it could be from the transmission oil cooler

Those crimped pipes end up leaking sometimes. They probably need to be replaced.

I recently had the fitting at the transmission Aux cooler leaking and replaced the o-ring. It was letting a little bit of oil to stream exactly where you are indicating.

Those do look like lines to the radiator for transmission fluid cooling.
I would try to figure out which one is leaking, as I doubt both are. Maybe wrap them both in white paper towels held by zip ties. See how long they take to saturate, and maybe you'll get an idea if one or both are leaking, not to mention how MUCH they are leaking.
