Default Ongoing Oil Leak 97 Accord LX 2.2

97 Honda Accord 4dr LX with 2.2 liter manual, got an oil leak on the drivers side below and behind the valve cover, eventually it's a dime sized drop of oil under the timing cover for a while, but appears to start near the top of engine block (see attached pic) recently is getting a little worse. Let me know if you have an idea what or where the leak is, my guess is head gasket, but I hope I'm wrong. Have replaced the valve cover gasket, have not replaced the Cam seal that I can remember.

Deserthonda has seen this movie, and got the T-shirt

When there is oil on that flat shelf that has the crank stampings on it, the only place it comes from is the cam seal.
