Clean the engine. the leak will be easy to spot when you have a clean slate to work with

+1

Also could be valve cover gasket. The VC gasket and Dizzy o-ring are more likely than a head gasket, but a clean engine is easier to work on than a dirty one.

Same thing happened to me when I bought a new dist. off ebay. I replaced the O-ring with a OEM one and its been dry since.
