There's no oil in that part of the block - It's gotta be the intake manifold gasket seeping down the deck. This can be a common problem when the gaskets aren't set just right (I've had problems like this many a time).

Be cautious about simply fixing the problem by gushing silicone seal into the rar corners of the intake manifold, as the sealer may get shoved deep enough into the engine to cover up the oil return passage from the head.

Probably the best solution is to remove the intake manifold and reinstall it using new gaskets. You may want to inspect the old gaskets in hopes of learning why they failed - this inspection often times can reveal some interesting info.
