Default oil around headgasket and dizzy area anyone else?

ok i have a VERY minor oil leak, ive always been told a good motor needs to sweat a little but it kills the whole clean look i am going for ...
...i only have 2 bolts in my dizzy would oil be leaking out there and down onto my headgasket?
...or i been told it might be my 'cam seal'...?
whatever it is i gotta stop it cause all my wiring near the vtec solinoid gets covered in gunky oils.. anyone else got this leak??

usually the cam seal. It sits on the same side as the distributor, just forward of it. Its a little round plug and leaks like *** normmally.
