Oil leak top of engine

Just wanted a second opinion before I go ahead and try fix it myself. Anyway I got a bit of oil pooling on the top of the engine right next to where the lower intake manifold bolts to the engine. I've previously read that this could be coming from the oil injectors. Is this correct? And how do you fix it? Engine is a turbo series 5.

Possible oil metering line snapped to the oil injector.
You'd have to remove the upper intake assembly to see it.
NOTE: if you are driving it,I would suggest some 2 stroke oil mixed with your fuel to compensate for the loss of internal lubrication.
Say 4-6 oz per tank.
