Icon2 Pinning the Oil Leak

To start things off, this is my car:
1995 Honda Civic EX
D16Z6
Automatic Trans.
With this out of the way, I found an oil leak on the passenger side of the car. It drips down onto the trans and off the car. I though it could be the o-ring on the distributor, or some other various things. Does anyone know where the oil could be coming from?

This is where the oil ran down on the back.

Some pooled under the distributor.

Other side of heater hose.

The driver's side of the car looks squeaky clean and no oil or anything of the sort there. I've ran out of ideas and I'm stumped on to what it could be..

After I thought around the idea, I fired the car up.

I'm positive I answered my own question:





This is the VTEC solenoid leaking, correct?
