Default Please help to identify the OIL LEAK

Hi
How are you guyz.
I am New in this forum. May be someone else already posted the thread on this topic, but Could not found it. I have Honda Civic 2002, 7th generation Vtech with D16W9 motor. I have an issue of oil leak. I tried hard but could not trace the oil leak. I already changed the Valve cover gasket. Please see the arrows (the crevices) in the picture from where the oil is leaking and the yellow circle indicates the oil covered area on engine.

Thanks in advance

Best regards

Does the motor have a distributor? If so, check the distributor.

Possibly your cam plug, or the vtec spool valve.
