Oil leak

Admittedly I don’t have a ton of experience with working on these cars and i come here looking for some help in identifying where this leak could be coming from. There seems to be a build up of oil that to me seems to be fresh under the throttle body elbow where the engine is stamped with 13B.

Any idea where this could be coming from? I’ve checked the oil filter pedestal which Is completely clean and free of oil.

Hard to tell, but it could possibly be a dowl pin o-ring leak. Have you cleaned the area with some brake clean and then run it for a short trip to see if you can better determine the source of the leak?
