Where is this oil coming from?

Finally decided to get off my butt and clean up my non-seq conversion. I pulled off the UIM and ripped out the rats nest. I'm trying to clean up the engine and remove all the unneeded stuff; vacuum lines, solenoids, installing block-off plates, etc. Its been 4 years since I did the conversion. I was in a rush back then so I left most of the stock stuff in place. I took some pix of the engine and wanted to see if anyone had the same oil leak problem and point me in the right direction to correct it.

Any help much appreciated. Any other suggestions of things to do while I have access?

Might be the O-ring on the oil filler pipe mounting flange.
