Micra 1.2 petrol - 55 Micra oil leak at inlet maniflod - Jondolar

Does anyone know why there would be oil coming from (looks to be coming from) the inlet manifold. Been like this for a while and I have not took anything apart to look yet as it only looses about 2 drops a day but always wondered why it would be from this area. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

You need to have the engine cleaned before you can be sure where it is comming from. My guess would be cam cover onto the inlet manifold.
