Cant tell where this, but did you already check your constant pressure valve?

Thanks for the reply the cpv is not leaking this is the front passenger side between the timing chain tensioner and the the black vanos oil pressure canister . It seems to be seeping through the block where I drew the red circle . I put some black rtv around the area a couple days ago seems to have stopped the leak so far. Very strange
