Oil on top of engine - stumped 850 1997

I removed the plug & wire cover over the weekend and there was a bit of oil pooled on top of the engine. Not very much -- but I can't figure out where it came from! There's nothing wrong with the plugs, and the oil is in one of the little recessed areas of the engine itself, not on the plug wires. Is it possible some oil could have leaked out of the filler cap somehow? Is that common, and does it indicate I need a new gasket on the filler cap?
Thanks, I'm mystified!
