Can anyone identify this leak?
 
Paging Jim!!!

Can anyone tell possibly where this small oil leak is coming from. It is on the lt side
cylinder bank area. The leak comes down the front left O2 sensor wire... I am thinking a valve cover or something??

My RMS is dry.

Thanks!

If there's no oil above the coil pack:

Spark plug tube seal?

I have the exact same problem on my 02 base. It seems that the oil is leaking from the forwardmost spark plug on both the driver and passenger side. At least my RMS looked dry. I'm thinking I will replace the tubes and 'O' rings for all six spark plug tubes when I change the plugs. I see the parts are relatively cheap, anyone know how difficult they are to replace?

Any update on this? I have the same problem, though to a lesser extent.

From what I can see oil is coming out from the area around the sparkplug nearest the front of the car. I've only seen the driver's side (while changing driver's side rear track arm) so I'm not sure if I have the same thing on the passenger side.
