Oil leak ideas

Hi guys - another newbie question if I may.

Here is a picture of what is obviously a long standing oil leak. Any coaching on what is likely causing this given the location?

Thanks!

Hard to tell by photo but it could be cam seal and cam cover gasket.

That's a very close-up --- hard to tell.
I would venture to guess chain tensioner casings.

Probably the tensioner covers...

Best to follow standard oil leak procedure:
Clean oil off of areas with simple green or similar product
drive car and watch for fresh oil leaks

Lots of threads on this subject, the search function is your friend

Report back with pictures after you've cleaned off all the oil oil sludge

Shouldn't be a biggie, more info on your 911 history would be helpful as well

Good Luck!
