oil leak

hey guys got a question about the driver side of the engine with the spark plugs for a stock 95. at first i thought oil was leaking out of the spark plugs and did a search and found some stuff so i checked out what it said and the spark plugs are fine but when i lifted the car i noticed that oil is coming out of this circular thing above the top spark plug. the circle thing is only on the rotor housing in the front of the car not the back rotor housing so im a little confused. anyone know what that thing is and if so any possible suggestions on how to get oil to stop coming out of it. i was also thinking of getting a shop manual for my 95' and was wondering if anyone has one and found it helpful. thanks for your help guys.

sounds like the knock sensor if there is not a lot of leakage.
