CA Oil Leak / Oil Stain along the intake

So I noticed this small oil spot along the lines of my intake. It hasn't gotten bigger while I let it sit but I suspect it's burning up oil when I drive because I don't see anything under the car. Any ideas / advice on what this could be, and how I could fix it?

Thank you

If there's no actual oil pooling in the intake pipes and that's the only place you see that... there is likely no defect. You can replace the o ring which is a super annoying job but if it's driving fine otherwise, leave it be. It's not abnormal to see what you're seeing. The downpipe looks completely dry so I wouldn't advise any corrective action so long as boost is normal.
