Default Non turbo R55 oil leak

Trying to diagnose oil leak from back side of engine. Appears to come from somewhere beneath intake but difficult to tell for certain. Had new head gasket installed last fall so hoping it's not related. Doesn't seem to be coming from between head and block but, again hard to tell. What other sources are in the vicinity? Thanks. Bob

Did you check the timing chain tensioner? Or possible its leaking from the valve cover?
