Oil pool on right side of engine block...

It seems to be pooling on the side of the engine. Any ideas? There is a little oil near back of the head, but I cannot tell if that is old...The oil is hidden under the oil filter, but there is no stains leaking FROM the filter itself.

What else is hiding under there it could be coming from?

I do believe that's the *left* side of the block.

And I've seen the same problem on one of my parts cars but you have to take off the whole intake assembly to get at the problem area:
