Help Identify Leak

c280 , 1994 87k miles

Seem to have a small leak near the front. I've had the head gasket, and timing chain gaskets replaced in last 2 years.

Thought it might be valve cover gasket, but doesn't seem to be coming from there. Right below it towards the front is where it *seems* to be coming from. It is just starting to drip down on the tensioner shock. Wet around the sensor (Cam position sensor?) too.

Any ideas what might be leaking?

Thanks.

What color is the substance?

What does it look like?

Oil, transmission fluid, coolant, power steering fluid; brake fluid ?

Sure looks like oil to me. Leaking down the right side (in front, facing engine). Below the valve cover and above the head/block.

With the front plastic cover lifted off, it seems like it may be leaking from right under where that sensor (Cam position?) clips in. Is there a seal in that area?
