Default 1995 accord oil leak__Need help

Hello all,

Lately, I've been noticing some oil leaks coming from behind the valve cover (closer to the timing cover). It gets to the point where it drips down to my oil pan and cause an obvious smell while driving.

I have snapped a picture of the spot of the oil leak.



From what I've been reading.. this is caused by the cam seal, but I'm not 100% certain.

What ya'll think? Need your advice before I take it in.


Edit:
The circle red is where the oil leaks to.
The blue arrow is pointing to the front of the car.

Sorry if the image is too small to read the text box.
Car is a 1995 accord EX with 236k miles.

Thanks in advance

Take some more pics. That pic is not doing any justice.

Typical leaks are cam seals and valve cover gaskets on that side.. opposite side also can leak from spool valve... Id say cam is ur culprit.
