You can thank the engineers who don't have to work on them for that!  Is the valve cover making a good seal?

re
i think so, it seems like it may be coming from the front of the head and just running across the bottom of the valve cover

My guess is no, but anything is possible. Take a look its in the 10 oclock postion in front on the passenger side you will see the wiring plug. Its behind the front crankshaft pully. See if its wet from oil
