There are seals for the tubes that run down to the plugs, as they can be removed. Chances are its those. There are drain holes that allow water n oil through, n it usually ends up all over the front of the motor.

No problem, change the seals, clean up the motor and that should sort it. If it leaks any more, then youll see on the clean motor.
