Oil around spark plug hole

I have changed the valve cover and cant find anywhere else this leak could be coming from!I see oil on top of oil filter housing and a small drip on bottom left side trans
housing.

Back of intake? The end seal in the valley sees oil. If you don't have a proper PCV/breather set up blowby can push it out along there.

if its just thin crome valve covers with cork gaskets....its still the valve covers. the leak down the back on the trans may be the intake.
