I have a leak on the drivers side under the intake manifold. Seems to be right behind the injector pump. The shop manual shows almost nothing for that side of the engine. Any ideas?

You have to look and see it , because it is hard for me to see it from here.
Wash it off and sprinkle baby powder on it .
Run it for a bit.
You will find a trail to the source.

Like afterburn said, you’ll likely have clean it to know for sure where the leak is happening, oil can get blown around under there and show up in a lot of places. That said, it’s probably the Tappet cover gasket.

Primary Driver side oil leaks are:
1. Tappet cover
2. Vacuum pump

fuel leaks are:
1. Injectors
2. Injector lines

Look up from bottom when running and warm for dripping from bottom of vacuum pump and/or for running dripping from the tappet cover.

If you de-grease, I'll suggest:
Checking to make sure wiring and grounds are in good shape and secure before and after.
Protecting the connectors to the PCM.
