Okay, that is always a likely place for a small leak. Can you wipe 
things off and see which end of the red hoses this is coming from? 
It MIGHT simply be that the hose clamps need to be snugged up, 
but avoid the temptation to overtighten them. Just snug, or you can 
actually do more harm than good.

The rear one, kind of under the distributor? It could be a distributor 
O-ring that just needs to be replaced, otherwise that's an unusual 
place for a leak.
