        I'd still check as I've seen that leak before and it looks exactly like the cam plug being in the wrong position leak

            Things at the back of the engine to check:

            rear crank oil seal
            rear block oil gallery plug
            head oil gallery plug
            cam cover gasket
            leaky PCV pipes

              I agree with Jamo, looks like the half moon seals leaking at the rear of the cam cover. Mine was the same. When you replace them seal them with a smear of silicon.

                Looks like a PAS fluid leak to me... I can kind of see a green tint to the oil.
