Are you certain it's not dripping down from the throttle body?

I think I see what you are talking about, but you really need to take a pressure washer to the engine bay first and then take pictures from other angles because from that picture it just looks like grime in casting flash

+1 on the cleaning, if the dowel pin O ring leaks it will puddle there too.
