Default leaking oil?

So my car is leaking oil by the engine stamp, not massive amounts, but just a bit. I cleaned it up one day, and the next day I checked it out, the oil was on my engine stamp. Does anybody know why this is happening?

and also, when I turn off my engine, it has this rare smell, it sort of reminds me of the smell of walnuts.

if its the vtec cylinder gasket then i would change it. Its a cheap gasket and doesnt take long to do. Also look around your dizzy and see if theres any leaks.
