Most likely cause will be the oil seals on the camshafts - just behind the cam sprockets. These do not normally leak, best to check there is vacuum in the engine crankcase when engine running on tickover. If there is pressure the positive crankcase breather needs cleaning/replacing. Do a search on here for PCV and there will be a guide on how to replace.
