So I now see one drop a day coming from the area of the right rear tire. Thoughts?

I’m sure you checked your oil filter housing

Year, model, coupe or cab?

Picture of the location of the drop and the engine directly above the drop?

Is it behind the tire or in front of it? Could it be from the tandem pump cover?

I pulled up a bit for this shot

Hard to tell from the picture but that's very close to the drain. Did you recently have an oil change?

Anything done recently? Drain plug not to correct torque?

Or, as I did recently, have you possibly bottomed out our hit something that cracked your oil pan? A hairline crack may result in this type of slow leak.

I echo 93Jaffe's question about recent oil change - I'd crawl underneath and check the drain plug. May not be tightened to proper specs, or an issue with the crush washer.

Looks to be a bit too much to the left to be the oil filter housing, so my guess would be rear main seal.

Really, the picture with the spot on the cardboard is what we're working from?

Stick your cell phone under the car with the flash on and take a few pictures so we can directly see the origin of the leak. Could be anything at this point as we don't know how it's flowing down the motor to end up at that spot on the floor. Could be the case halve bolts migrating oil down the threads. Could be anything.

I know I have to get underneath, and will do. Oil change was May 2018, 2k miles ago by prior owner

The oil needs to be changed first off. That oil is a year and a half old.
I believe the going rate around these parts is 12 months or 5k Miles, unless tracked of coarse.
When you bring it in tell the mechanic you have a leak and have them track it down.
