Where is this oil leak coming from?
I have this same leak I have replaced distributor and Vtec solenoid gaskets and valve cover gasket and I still get this leak... I have ran out of options of what it could be or what I did wrong...
I had what seems to be the exact same leak. It was coming from both, the valve cover gasket and the vtec solenoid. replacing both gaskets fixed it. You will need a mirror and to pay close attention to find it. look at the valve colver gasket right behind the distributor, at the corner where it goes above the cam seal. Also look at the vtec solenoid from behind.
Remember that there is 2 seals in the vtec assy. mine was one for the actual solenoid.

I requested a short story for a title.

have you tried to source the issue with the engine running? Is it a fairly steady leak like half quart loss or so in 500 miles?
take a look at that valve cover gasket

You'll need to clean it up and locate the leak at all of the above locations.

For the others, clean up the oil first. You'll never be able to find the source if your engine looks like the one currently pictured.
