Default Oil Leak

Ok my car is leaking oil right between the block and the head. Its not a bad leak but it bothers me. Its right where the head gasket is. i can clearly see it and when i drive it leakes down onto the block where it says what the motor is but not that bad. im pretty sure its not the head gasket though. Im starting to think its because my head isnt torqued down all the way but im not sure. Anyone have suggestions of what it could be

look around and make sure is not the cam seal leaking right next to your dizzy, or leaking around the vtec solenoid.

did you just do work to your cylinder head? because you mentioned about it maybe not being torqued down.

If something wasn't tightened enough you'd start leaking coolant/combustion way before oil. Honda head gaskets will not leak oil unless there was a machining problem with the head or an f'd up lsvtec conversion. You problem is either:

-Valve cover
-CAm seal
-Dizzy oring
-vtec sol gasket
-rocker arm shaft galley washer/hex bolt
