Oil leak underneath manifold

Hello. I was checking my oil today and noticed something a little strange. The spark plug wires and the connector that holds them together under the intake had oil on them (at least I think it's oil). The wires are dry before and after they go under the intake. I was wondering if anyone had experienced anything like this before and what might be causing it. I noticed some leaking under neath on the drivers side rear but I think that is from the valve cover ((on the to do list). The car reuns normally, no over heating or problem with the oil pressure. I appreciate any input you have. The car is a 95' 993 Carrera2. Also, the leak is not heavy, my oil level on the dipstick is right at the halfway mark.

Thanks,

Chris

Directly under the intake? Or over on the right side near/below the air box?

Our '95 car had a very small leak in the powersteering hose on the right side... Looked like oil film/oil all over the plug wires and sheet metal on that side.

The power steering hose is 1/2" diameter black rubber with a metal restrictor crimped into it. Hangs sort of between AC compressor and side of engine compartment.

Hope you can find you leak.

Thanks Cooper but it is right under the intake. From the reading I've done and from the thread I have on Rennlist I think it might be the oil pressure sender. Anyone here have any similar experiences?

Thanks,

Chris
