Most likely coming from the seal between the lower intake manifold and block.



See the blue seals? Right at the ends. Get a flashlight and mirror.
It'* where the block, heads, and lower intake all meet. Right in the corner. This is the most common spot to leak oil on these engines. The stock seals are suspect, the new ones from the dealer are improved.

Leaking at those seals I pointed out won't be severe. It'* not a pressure area. The oil just splashes around from the rods, and occasionally squirts out there. It'll dribble down the face of the block. You'll see it with a bright flashlight if you look in there above the trans housing. If you cleaned it up really well, you might be able to reseal it from the outside, but it'* worth going in and doing all of them at some point if this is where it'* coming from.
