Some updated images, its oil, seems to be a bit of oil mist around, but you can see where it ends up. Unsure if its a leaky AOS assembly now?

I had a slight cam cover leak that looked a little like that. I tightened the bolts a bit and leaked stopped.

I'm having a bit of trouble orienting myself in the picture, but it could be an engine mount.

And the winner is... the clamp on the AOS rubber line! Cheap fix, win.

it looks like your cylinder 1 spark plug (drver side back) tube is leaking too.
