Hi,

There is a breather hose there that can allow oil to leak. I copied your pic and circled the hose. See if that is where it is leaking from.

Let me know.

Any other possible thing around this area that can lead to a leak?

I believe there is an oil separator at some point, but I believe the intake manifold needs to be removed to access it. Could you get a closer pic of the box? Also, check to see if there is a part number listed anywhere on it.

Let me know.
