From what little I know about LS/VTEC's, they are prone to leak from around that area due to less than ideal alignment of head to block. The work around is to spray the head gasket with some head gasket sealant.

Is this a minor or major leak?

if its leaking from that allen plug at the end of the rocker shaft, that has absolutely nothing to do with lsvtec or block and head alignment. it s a matter of properly torqueing the plug.
