I am willingto bet it is your cam seal. Replace it with a metal STR one and not the OEM.

you will have to take the valve cover off, and at least loosten the end cap on the cam shaft, but to do it correctly you'll need to loosen all cam holders evenly to do so. also is it leaking from the side nearest the pass side fender or is it near rear the firewall? if it's at the rear of the head check the oil filter(loose) area

That is your cam seal...do a search on the net on how to replace it...I saw how somewhere but did not save the link.
