You will have to trace it.  Favourites on V6 are cam covers, oil cooler joins and the upper and lower sump fittings.

Perhaps a few drops of extra-virgin off one's carelessly handled bruschetta?

Whats to say the oil on the floor came from your car?  Tester only?  He/she needs to identify leak on your car in order to positively tie it to your car, otherwise it could have appeared from anywhere...
