It would seem to me that you have 3 possibilities: the oil fill cap, through the cam cover gasket, or through the rubber grommet for the cam cover bolts. I mean, the other possibility might be the front cover but highly unlikely in that position. Try cleaning it up real good and then cranking it up and looking under the hood with it running to see if you can find it.

Dont forget that could be comming from the PCV system as well. But its hard to tell from those pics.

oil looks too clean to be a leak. leaking oil usually gathers a lot of crap on the way out and turns decidedly black.

looks to me like an "Oil level adjustment malfunction" (aka.. you spilled some)

But I clean it and more just keeps coming back. But its slowly so I cant tell where its coming from.

I agree, it looks too clean for leaky motor oil. It's hitting the front of the alt and intake so it looks like it's getting into your fan somehow and flinging back. You're not supercharged are you? Do AC compressors have oil in them?

What have you done to the car recently? How is the fluid level?

Im am N/A. I noticed it once I got my cams and intake manifold installed. All my levels check out. Its not enough oil to create a problem, I just would like to seal it up so it doesnt get the engine bay dirty.

You may have ripped a gasket while changing cams.
