LS/VTEC head leaking oil

I just did an ls vtec on my 92 ls and oil is leaking out of the head gasket right by the distributor. Just wondering if anybody else has had this problem or if they might know what is up.

cam seal. vtec seal, valve cover seal, and i believe there is a seal for the distributor also.

Most likley is either the vtec or cam seal

It might also be an issue with the plugged oil passage in the deck or the feed fitting that replaces the 3/8" BSPT plug in the intake-side of the head.

Clean the spill with brake parts cleaner and look for the leak by ruling out the highest possible leak points first while working your way down.
