Head Cracked

Head Cracked
So here is the deal...
After at least 5 attempts to resolve my oil leaking issue, I dont know what else to do. I have a 96 accord lx. Oil seems to seep into where my spark plugs are, but it only afftects two of the four. i have changed valve cover gaskets and o rings (several times) and have even replaced the valve cover. I am convinced that something maybe warped or cracked, but how do I know what to look for to rule out those two things
any help is appreciated

The only thing I have changed is the valve cover gasket and the O rings. If the rocker arm you are talking about reqires me to take off more than just the valve cover, then I know I didn't hav. e those rings done

So, after much research, the cluprit is a crack in the tube where the spark plug sits. after my mechanic and I took the cover off and really looked at it, the crack explains my problem. SO, I have decided to replace the entire engine. Why you may ask?? Well, with over 300,000 miles on it, I decided it maybe more beneficial to replace the engine as opposed to just the head. I want to thank you for all your help in this matter. I am learning more and more about my car everyday..thanks!!
