Default Oil leak on engine

Its like oil is leaking by the TB and Intake manifold on the passanger side of the engine and its only coming down on the front some where. Its seems to be only a little since it doesnt make it all the way down the engine. Looks like dirt collects on it. I just got the car and made a oil change with royale purple. Not sure if it happened before the new oil change or since i did that oil change. It doesnt leak on the ground tho. Can anyone help me out?

Get a picture of it. Maybe since you say passengers side, you have a leak in the PCV valve housing or the hose.

thats the PCV hose on the pass side.......degrease the engine and you can find it better.......BTW the PCV system will soon crap out on you.....look into getting it fixed BEFORE it happens
