Oil leak??

I have a bit of oil collecting where the intake bolts to the block in the little recesses between the runners.. does anyone know what this could be? It seems to be right under where the omp feed line enters the carb but i saw no sign of it leaking.. an its only collecting on the first rotors runners... dunno how the seals could be leaking after 20k miles but who knows..
It's a mazdatrix rebuilt street port..

First gen are like big go-karts fun fun fun...

check the omp lines under around the carb (2 i believe) these two lines are connected separately by 2 individual foam-like tubes that wrap around the omp lines joining them together. after time they may become impregnated with oil causing them to lose grip on the clear omp lines. you can go to a auto parts shop find the right size and cut a length and cut it to fit over the omp lines. easy fix.
