Default 03 Civic EX oil leak

Hey, I did an oil change a few months back and noticed an oil leak that I believed was coming from the valve cover gasket, so I replaced it and it seemed the problem was solved. Upon preparing to do an oil change I noticed a significant puddle of oil located on the left side of the engine. My car starts fine, I’ve not noticed any difference in performance and has no check engine or oil light on. Any idea what could be causing this oil leak? Photos attached.

Thanks in advance!

It's your cam plug leaking. See this: https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-...-belt-3311948/

And its easy (no EGR valve in the way) and the part is cheap.
