Default engine seals

I want to replace all the seals on my engine because it's leaking so much oil.
I know i'm going to replace the head gasket and the valve cover seals.
I need a list of all the other seals i should replace in the process.
Also, does anyone know why oil would be leaking from in between the head and the exhaust header? Thanks

rear main oil seal=btwn engine and transmission (you have to take tranny off and the clutch and flywheel just to get to this seal, but its all good in the end)
do you have vtec, if you do, the seal under the vtec solinoid usually causes a leak problem. although it is a small seal, i leaked .5 qts due to that little seal.
also the dizzy has a few seals that sometimes cause oil to leak. cam seal. oil pan seal.

i cant think of anymore right now, but youve got a lot of work ahead of you but it is def worth it in the end. i replace all of my seals and now my car does not leak oil anymore. before and was leaking oil so bad i couldnt park on the driveway, i had to pour sand on my driveway just to help dry up the huge oil leak. and now i dont have to add a qt of oil every week and the engine just drives better due to better oil pressure.
