Default 99 civic ex, finding an oil leak

There is an oil leak somewhere and it's near the distributor area. I replaced the o-ring for the distributor, same problem. I plan on replacing the valve cover gasket next. Any where else I should look at, head gasket?

Before you just start replacing random gaskets and O-rings. clean up all the oil with brake clean and go from there ... take the car out for a spin pop the hood and see if there's any fresh oil in that area and trace it from there.
