Default Oil Leak help?

i cant seem to plug all the leaks....

first leak... oil pan, replaced and it stopped, but rear main was leaking...

not to get off subject but month ago did head swap and no leaks after completion....

ok so i did rear main replacement and no leak there anymore...

so now dizzy starts to leak.... replaced o ring and it stopped...

so now past couple of days ive noticed oil residue under distributor against head seal on back side under vtec solenoid and front side of motor...

any ideas??? valve cover seems dry all around... could it be the head gasket now? i got head resurfaced and new gasket with copper spray and proper torque 2 step sequence,(did use old bolts tho), if so u think retorquing head bolts could help? if i do retorque do i need to do with motor hot or cold?

another scenario i know the vtec solenoid gasket was alittle wore, is it possible for it to be the problem? im not sure cause how would it make along side of head to front of motor?

anyways anybody had any issues like this? letme know...

If oil is leaking from anywhere near that solenoid it will get everywhere, believe me, Its a cheap part replace it
