Default LS vtec oil leak

Another problem with the integra... I picked it up today from body shop, drove it to the guy that's gonna paint my car and popped the hood for him because he is building a Honda and wanted to see my engine... so I popped the hood and noticed that there was some oil on the ground... didn't think much of it... drove home (roughly 20 minutes) parked it in the garage and got out to see drips the whole way into the garage... popped the hood and found that the front of the trans and block were completely covered in oil... this is on the left side of the motor... checked the dip stick and it went from the 2nd dot to half way between the first and second dot... and ik it was full before I drove it... I havnt driven the car since I bought it 6 months ago but my friend owned it and drove it... never leaked oil... its ls vtec... I replaced the oil pump since I was getting an oil light, water pump because it wasn't replaced with the timing belt, blox version 3 intake manifold with thermal gasket, new throttle body gasket, new spark plugs, fresh oil and filter... idk where its coming from except its left side of the engine under like the distributor? maybe head gasket area... I havnt pin pointed it yet... just wanted to see what anyone thinks... I did cap off the pcv valve wen I did the intake manifold swap and put a breather filter on the valve cover... if anyone has a clue where my leak could be coming from please let me know... thanks

Wipe down the valve cover by the distributor. Clean that whole area, and start it up for a little while. See where it comes from.
