It might be a good idea to take the top engine cover off and see what there is to see there. It is strange that there is oil over there on the suspension dust boot.
My car had a leaking oil filler tube (between the trunk and the engine and there was oil everywhere on the right side. Can only really be inspected from above.

Definitely will do that when I get the top working, haha. Thank you for the advice!

I went under to take more photos. Look at all the black soot . I dont think this is all as a result of the spark plug tube leaks. I stuck a finger in the opening of where the white arrow is pointing. It was dry. The white arrow also points towards the rear of the car, for reference.
