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

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...
