I've got my eye on a clean 2010 where everything checks out, except there is a bit of oil on the passenger side of the engine. I know Jack and Squat about Toyota engines so please excuse my highly technical terms like "Thingy" and "Do-dad".
It seems like "old" oil if that makes any sense, as in a film of oil on what I believe is a valve cover and on top of what are either coil-on-plugs or injector connectors, or some such other do-dad. Pic below. I've outlined the general area in red, and the parts I believe to be cops or injectors. As I mentioned the oil seems old and it's dirty in the sense its absorbed a fair amount of dust and dirt. My question is where is this oil likely to have come from given it's location? I've told the dealer no deal till they track it down and rectify, but I'd like to have a clue when they come back at me with what they find.

This is just the best internet pic I could find where you could actually see the area in question. Any help is greatly appreciated because I'm a total newb in the Toy department.
