Default How did oil get here?

Ran pretty hard yesterday, hitting 5,000 RPM for a 3 minute stretch.
Oil pressure good. Temp good. All sounds good, but when I went to clean up the engine compartment today, I noticed some oil pooling ON the intake manifold, in a couple different spots...and they don't seem to be near the breather hose? See pic. Thoughts? Thanks! D911

either intake bolt or dripped down from where the breather connects to the flame arrestor.

I always put a little low grade locktite on the manifold bolts to stop oil coming out through them or water going the other way. Figure it cant hurt. Put a tap through them first mind. More likley dripped from the breather though.

Don't turn a hair cut into brain surgery, it dripped from the breather hose.
