If I saw this, these are the places I would check as a source of the leak before I thought Head-Gasket.

- Cam Seal (behind VTEC solenoid)
- Distributor shaft o-ring
- Port on back of head where people tap new oil-feed for LS-VTEC motors.

I've seen all three of these leak oil, and it always accumulates in this same place.

the car only has 138 k on it - i find it hard to believe the gasket could be blown - i don't drive it hard at all..............thanks for your insight - i gotta have someone take a look at it.
