Where is this oil leak coming from

This is a 2005 Mitsubishi lancer ralliart 2.4L.. I do know I need to do my valve cover gasket but where is this oil coming from in these pictures.. its behind the oil dipstick area. Any help would be appreciated.

Clean the engine and you will be able to find the leak.

thats how I figured out the valve cover gasket issue... I'm just not sure if that whole section behind the engine on my wiring/etc is from that
