Either a cam seal or the valve cover gasket is leaking. I'm pretty sure it a cam seal though.

My first thought was oil pump, but you're showing it leaking too high up. Are you sure about that? Oil pump seam begins close to the bottom of your red-circled area.

Otherwise, I'd agree with the valve cover or camshaft seal.
