Punto (Mk2/2b) Oil leak

[CP2000]

Hey what's up everyone? How y'all doing? Hope you're doing well.

So here's the thing. Around a month ago, before the pandemic of course XD, i was cleaning my engine bay and i noticed that my engine head was greasy on the right side, although it was a bit dry. I went to the left side and I saw that it was also greaded but "fresh". And the water hoses bellow were soiled with oil. Although I was worried, I noticed that if there was a oil leak it was a extremely small one. It goes to inspection every year and they don't notice anything and the oil level is always perfect. The car runs perfectly normal and smooth.
Although it is very small and hasn't done any affect to the car until now, I want to at least know where it comes from. I've put some paper on the ground in my garage so that tomorrow I will see if it is small.I really hope it isn't a gasket leak. Could you guys help me out?
It is a 2002 Punto MK2 with a 1.2 16v engine with around 89000km on it.

Thank you all, Godspeed and of course, stay at home guys.

Hi.

Probably worth unbolting the part

Cleaning it..

Then add a sealant to the faces

Bolt back together

My car had the same appearance at that spot. The leak was coming from the seals in the top of the engine for the round caps removed with an allen key/socket. That end plate the spark coils are fitted to has a metal plastic gasket that I could remove and refit on my car without creating leaks. When you remove those round caps I suggest you work them back and forth as you remove them and you number them so they go back where you got them from. The threads are easily damaged and the caps seems to get distorted and you don't want all of the hassle I had!
