Default oil leak or leaking head gasket

Hey guys my b16 has an oil leak. It tends to pool up on the left bottom corner. I changed the vtec gasket.and it still leaks. I can't tell if its the head gasket or not. Have y'all ever heard of a head gasket just leaking oil?

It will be one or a combination of these things:

1. Valve cover gasket
2. Cam seal
3. Vtec solenoid gasket
4. Spool valve gasket
5. Distributor O-ring.

You may have to apply a dab of RTV sealant (High temp) at critical corners under your valve cover if a new seal is leaking.
