    VANOS accumulator. You could replace the copper crush washers on banjo fitting.

    CPV or euro plug is sort of near by and often leaks, but it's further back and I wouldn't expect oil to travel forward.

    Only thing above there is coolant. Though I guess your oil pan gasket could be leaking there as well.

    If you haven't yet replaced your vanos line with the updated part, now would be a good time and you can put new washers in.

      What is the euro plug? Or is that just another name for the CPV?
