Oil leak around fuel rail

I have a 98 civic DX that appears to be losing oil from somewhere around the top/rear area of the engine. It looks like oil is slowly leaking all over the fuel rail.

As I understand it the fuel rail carries fuel, not oil. So any idea where this leak is springing from? I can't seem to trace it. It's much too slow to actually see.

Thanks.

Dave

Re: Oil leak around fuel rail

Clean the engine good. Then look real carefully at where it's coming from. Is it coming from one of the little do-dads on the engine or is it coming from between the head and the block. If it's coming from between the head and the block it's the headgasket. If it's something on the engine take a picture and we can tell you what it is and where to get it.
