Perhaps the large o-ring behind the oil filter? (Not on the filter itself, the housing the filter screws to has an o-ring)

Clean it all off, drive it for a bit and see if you can locate the source.

Check your distributor o-ring and your valve cover gasket.

I had the same issue with mine. You might as well replace the oil pressure switch gasket (another dealer item) while you're working on the VTEC solenoid. It is mounted on top of the solenoid.
