Default Oil Leak 93 LX manual

Contrary to my name and my original thought, my car is actually a 93! Yay!

Now to the oil leak. Wondering if this is the valve cover or a gasket on something else?

I made them just links because they are big pictures

If you save this picture and zoom in on the valve cover gasket you can see it pretty well. I am hoping someone can help me diagnose based on these pictures.

Is that a missing bolt there? Could that be the problem?

Looks like leaky valvecover gasket and/or distributor O-ring.

X2, I will say the vc gasket "looks" pretty new - along the front of the motor, nice and clean. Might be able to pull it and add a "dab" of silicone to the cam humps. Be sure to not over tighten the vc bolts, only like 9ft lbs....less than a spark plug.

My first thought was the dist o-ring.........but that is me
