Looks like either the cam cap seal, vtec spool valve gasket, dizzy seals, gearbox CV seal or rocker gasket (or a combination of); clean everything off and have a good look after a few miles to pinpoint it exactly.

My bet's on the cam cap.

Just wondering if we should make the oil leak guide from preludepower (shown in previous post) a sticky?

Was about to post a new thread with the Oil Leak Guide from PreludePower, having just found it very useful but thought I would make sure nobody had already posted a link to it here...

@Kawa - I was also going to suggest this be added as a link in the wiki section as it would be really helpful for a lot of people.
