Help diagnose oil leak

Sorry for the cellphone pics. Just noticed this today, on the driver's side, toward the rear of the engine. Any thoughts?

check that pressure line (upstream where the wire from the sensor crosses) it, its black rubber with a pressure fitting at the end. Looks like oil might be crawling down the wire and collecting on the sensor.

Total WAG but I'd guess spark plug tubes. Could also be from the power steering pump overflow.

Easy to tell if it is the plug tubes

Pull the coil pack and see if there is oil in there, or clean the block off and wait for the leak.....catch it early so you will know
