Area around my oil cap on valve cover is always moist

im guessing that my oil cap is letting oil escape through it, is this true?

Try cleaning the rubber seal on the cap and see if that helps. Might be time to get a replacement.

besides the cap, could it also be the threads on the valve cover itself?
and for buying a cap, are aftermarket ones just as good as the honda ones?
