Default Need help identifying leak on 2007 Honda CRV

185k miles.
The car is leaking power steering fluid from the steering rack. It's also leaking a little bit of trans fluid from the CV axle. However, there is one more leak that I'm not sure but I suspect engine oil. The valve cover appears to be dry all around. Below the intake manifold runners, there is what looks like oil leaking and pooling. Could the intake manifold be leaking oil there?

Sure. Why not? I'd verify.

The fluid source is unclear. It is in a tight area that may require removing the intake manifold runners. Is this area a common leak point? Is there a freeze plug there? A timing chain cover? Oil pump cover? VTEC module? Power steering fluid somehow getting thrown from the rack to that part of the engine? I seek experienced knowledge or guidance.
