Clean that area with engine degreaser. Scrub it until you can eat a light meal off of it. Then let the car run to warm up and follow the leak from it's source. Simple as that.

Oil that drips to that area is usually either ditributor O-ring or cam seal.
A Vtec solenoid leak usually travels under distributor/ECU sensor and along the top of the transmission.

Did you use Hondabond or RTV sealant in corners (per FSM) during the valve cover gasket install?

The leak is likely from the distributor and/or the VTEC solenoid. You'll make progress by determining which. The ball is in your court.

Hondabond or Yamabond your Vtec solenoid seal. Clean both block and Vtec solenoid mating surfaces thoroughly and be careful not to get any on the screen. Also, Hondabond the valve cover gasket corners per FSM.
