Default JDM b16a in EK4 (oil Seeping out between)

i just swapped my b16 in my ek and the car runs great and everythings fine but theres a small oil leak right between the head and the block on the distributor side. its not alot but its ****** annoying seein that every time i pop my hood. i was thinkin maybe the head wasnt torqued right or maybe the seals. but its only a little thats seeping out so i was also thinkin it wasnt that big of a deal. Is it okay to just leave it like that? is it going to ****** anything up later? or should i fix it asap? thx.

I had the same problem on my b16 and I thought it was the head gasket too. But it turned out to be the vtec solenoid leaking. So if I was you I would check the vtec solenoid and the distributor o-ring and if it still leaks you might want to look at the headgasket.
