strange oil leak - need help to identify

[rycar550]

Hey guys,

If you take alook at the image below, you will two areas where I have oil. Not exactly sure where that could be coming from. Could someone give some insight in to what the issue might be?

The car also idles pretty low (making the CEL come on until you rev the engine) if that has anything to do with it...


Thanks!
Ryan

The source of the oil in both places is the intake. While a slight amount of oil in the intake is normal, an excessive amount can be caused by worn valve seals and/or guides, worn rings, intake leaks at the valve cover gasket, oil return tube, oil breather hose dipstick o-rings, oil fill cap seal, or a combination of those.

thanks for the response. Does not sounds like anything major but something worth looking into to see if any of the things you mentioned are going bad/leaking.
