Strange because head gasket would normally produce milky substance on dipstick and not darker oil, and exhaust smoke. I'd check my PCV system too although this wouldn't normally produce a leak.
I'd look up top first. So many leaks start at the top and run down and sometimes searching at the top of the engine is forgotten.
Facts are stubborn things.

I'd check out the EGR cooler. It's under the intake manifold and has some coolant lines running to it. From my research (I was looking to possibly delete it) it seems that these can leak an be a pain to spot.

Thanks for the advise everyone. I looked again and the thing is still dripping. The main drips coming from the crank pulley area, which made me think possible water pump issue, but looks dry around water pump… at least the parts I can see.
I think this is going to the dealership, and I’m gonna see if they honor the Lifetime warranty I paid for. I expect they will if it’s a water pump or get cooler.
I will report back It can be really difficult to see the weep hole area. See if there's any wobble to the water pump pulley. A lot of time there be a wobble to the pulley about the time they start leaking.
