Why oil there?

There could be a hairline crack or something similiar in the threaded hole/short block and since it's right on the top of the oil gallery, there could be some oil seeping out -> clean the hole and close it with a suitable plug (sadly, I don't know the size/pitch of the thread) and examine if it solves the oil contamination.

Or a wrench monkey played around your engine bay and contaminated this area with an oily residue
Perfect thanks for the clarification!!! Ill keep an eye on the area now.
