Found this when I was installed new coil overs on my 3gen Tacoma. Seems to be an oil leak (no major fluid loss seen on dipstick.)I’m curious if anyone has seen this before I’m not sure what is leaking and it looks like there’s something missing on the engine. It’s located on the driver side of the engine. Does anyone know what’s wrong?
These pictures were taken from the fender eel of the driver side

Why not try to change the pcv valve. It’s cheap and if it’s clogged, it might just fix the leak.
