You're not retarded. It's not easy to see back there. Are you sure you have leaking HPOP lines? Could the oil be coming from leaking CAC boots? Those are the orange boots under the turbo spider. If you haven't done the CCV mod then your boots could be leaking oil and it will puddle in the valley, right behind the fuel bowl.

You might also run your fingers along the underside of the fuel bowl drain valve (yellow valve). If they come out wet, you might have a fuel leak instead of an oil leak

They're hard to tell apart sometimes.
