Have you ruled out other more common sites for oil leaks, such as the valve cover gasket, distributor O-ring, or VTEC solenoid (if you have one)?

That's usually from a leaky distributor o-ring or valve cover gasket. Did it start leaking shortly after you replaced the valve cover? Chances are the gasket slipped or didn't seal right on installation.

no there was no leak i just pulled up one day to show a buddy under my hood and i noticed the oil stain around the head gasket, it isnt the side of the disrubutor its cambelt side but only at the front, i can see clearly as my engine has been sprayed with high temp paint in silver,
