Where does it look like this oil is coming from...
First off the motor is a JDM B16a if that makes a difference... I can't tell if its the cam seal or if its one of the gaskets or filters in the assemblely that the VTEC solenoid is on top of (don't know exactly what that is called). The car did through a code 21 the other day which was VTEC spool solenoid valve... Thanks.

yea i bought a new cam seal and valve cover gasket. i still don't know why it would throw a code 21 though. maybe just the wiring.

its coming from the cam seal , and know you do not need one from golden eagle. Oem will work just fine with proper installment.

I got an STR cam seal for like 20 or 30 on ebay.
Even just a no-name brand is better than OEM. OEM cam seals have only 1 ring thingy...while most aftermarket ones have 2 or more.
OEM cam seals are always leaky bastard.s
