What kind of oil leak is this? With pic
2005 is300 90k miles 5spd not sure what kind oil leak I'm looking at ,never had any leaks since I've owned it , I just recently have not been able to get to do any maintenance because of current financial situation. only thing that's needs to be done is oil and brakes. Car still runs hard and quick like the day I drove it off the lot . Any feedback would be great ,want to know if it's something costly

Sorry for the bad pic it was dark should have zoomed in more but you can see some oil right by the crank tensioner and a view from the other side there is a lot more oil but it's hard to angle the phone due to limited space

I had oil in the same spot, it was from my cam seals. But, it could also be the vvti cam gear. The timing belt needs to be removed to fix either. You are due for a timing belt at 90k anyway.
