Oil leak from rear top of motor....
Hey all need some input. I have oil build up all over the back top side of my 5.9. Looks to be coming out of the distributor or the plug next to it.. may even be coming out of the intake. What's the most likely culprit? Any easy way to narrow down what it could be? It's not gushing oil, just really caked on and a slow drop that collects down at the bottom of the bellhousing. Thanks for any replies.

The oil sending unit is right next to the distributor, it could be leaking. It could be the intake leaking too, I can't tell without the vehicle in front of me.
