If oil is pooling on top of your engine your oil fill tube is leaking. It may be cracked or it may just have a leak in the joint between the upper fill tube and the tube that meets the engine. The oil fill tube is a thin black plastic tube which is about 1.5" in diameter. If you run your finger under the underside of it and it comes back with fresh oil, you know that joint is leaking.

I disassembled mine, cleaned the interface with acetone, then sealed it with RTV since it was not cracked. No leak.
