Most likely Spark plug tube O-rings are leaking.

the picture is not very clear, but that seems to be a chain tensioner?

If so they can indeed leak, but you have to lock the engine at TDC, and lock the cams before removing it to replace the o-ring and the crush seal.

I'm guessing this is on the pass side (USA) of the car?? If so, then there is a lot of things that could be leaking above there and that tensioner probably isn't the likely culprit.

Oil can be leaking from all of these places. AOS, Flex Pipe & oil fill pipe.

You can see the mess below all of then before it gets to the tensioner area.
