Johnson (Suzuki) 60hp 4 stroke oil drip

I have a 2004 Johnson (Suzuki) 60hp 4 stroke outboard that has a small oil drip that appears to be coming from behind the intake manifold on the port side of the motor. I noticed it just recently when I spotted a small oil slick behind the motor while fishing. It is a very small amount that cannot be detected as a significant loss when checking the dipstick. Anyone heard of anything like this before? I wanted to check with some of you more knowledgeable folks before I attempt to take the manifold off to investigate further. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing…

Nevermind… Turns out, after further investigation, that it was not an oil leak. Had a pin hole in one of the fuel lines. What I thought was oil was actually fuel mixing with the grime in the bottom of the cowling. Should have gone with the smell test from the beginning! Thanks for reading anyway.
