Just curious were the this oil is coming from?? Don’t know if it’s motor, head gasket or intake camshaft sensor?? Anyone know or can help would highly appreciate it

Probably not head gasket. Do you actually have drips anywhere or just enough oil for dirt to stick? The only way I know how to track down small leaks like that is to clean everything off and keep an eye on the first sign of new oil leaking.

My guess from the close up pictures is the hpfp gasket where it meets the head, really common leak point.

Like jd said, clean it all off and then check every few days to see if you can see where its coming from. Could be the valve cover gasket or the HPFP gasket like Ecaulk said. Or it could just be that whoever fills up your oil doesnt have very good aim.

There is a bulletin on the last cam cap (hpfp) leaking, looks very similar to the leak I had on mine that turned out to be that cap. Takes a special sealant between the cap and the head.
Edit: seems they have updated and changed the sealant they are requiring. Now its just the latest gm engine sealer 12378521.

I was going to say I sealed mine with oil safe RTV and it hasnt died or leaked (about 60k ago)

id also take a guess the oil filter cap had been overtightened too many times. You could get a leak there.

3 places possibly. Can cap, which I think the how to fix was posted. Fuel pump, not likely. But is also a good idea to rtv the gasket. And the most likely culprit based on where the oil is, can position sensor in front. Remove, rtv aeound oring. Install and let dry. I did front and back and the other places when I got my motor before install. No issues. Where as with old motor. Always leaked
