Valve cover gasket, vtec solenoid gaskets (there are 2), cam plug seal, distributor oring, any of those most of the time. Sometimes corner of headgasket will leak, I usually add a little rtv there before installing head/headgasket.

Looks like he put the head gasket backwards check that corner where the dirty oil spot is, you should see a serial number on the edge of the gasket sticking out.
