Oil on top of the engine?

As I was working on some of the other issues I am currently having, I noticed a pool of oil which appears to be on top of the engine. Now I am a novice so I don't know all the parts, nooks, and crannies of my car, so I have simply attached a few pictures that display what I found (hopefully). Please let me know if this is something that should be concerning, and what I should do to fix it (I know, big request). I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the other major problem I had recently (still ongoing) (see post http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...mp;#entry160855 ).

Trying to orient myself from your pix --

Just guessing -- but it might be coming from the oil pick up tube if it is cracked somehow, a cracked bellows

on the AOS? There is also the oil fill tube that i just replaced that leaked onto that area as well.

Great, thanks. I'll check those.

The lower side of the first pic is from the driver's side, the upper side would be towards the passenger side. The other two pics are from a similar orientation, just zoomed in.

Cracked oil fill tube or bad o ring could be the source. I removed my engine a couple weeks ago and have oil in the exact same spot.

My oil fill tube cracked while I was trying to remove it and I suspect it had been cracked for some time.
