I was looking at a used 2013 Mustang on a car lot. As I was looking over the car I saw some oily, greasy, residue, seeping coming out of this area of the engine. (Circled with arrow pointing in photo below)
Can someone tell me what part that is and why I might see seepage? Sorry, I am a novice and was looking for some info. Thanks in advance.

That area is right below the crankcase vent tube which often contains oil vapors on their way to the intake manifold and are seeping from the hose a bit. It is likely nothing.

Those two things you have circled are the Variable Valve Solenoids and the might weep a little. no biggie just means the car has been driven.

I’m guessing you can replace VCT solenoid O-rings to reseal.

I too own a 2013 Mustang. Mine is a V6 Premium with Pony Package. My summer car. If you like the vehicle, tell the dealer you will purchase it 2nd to a pre-purchase inspection. It was the best $250 I ever spent. I won mine since 2018 and it has been a dream. No issues at all but then I do not drive the car daily. My daily driver currently is a 2023 Subaru Outback Touring XT. i do show the car during show season and it has won awards.
