I noticed this oil leak a long time ago, wiped off the area, and now its back. I do not have any oil leaking out under the car, no puddles at all. I've been burning oil for a while now, and I'm pretty sure its either rings or valve seals, but thats a whole nother topic.

Where does this look like its coming from? Its only on the driver side on the back two header bolts and plug wire boots. It looks like its almost spraying oil out a little bit from somewhere, because there is also some on the firewall near the back header bolt. Also, I replaced the valve cover gasket on that side already, but it didn't fix this leak, so it must be coming from somewhere else. Thanks in advance.

looks like a valve cover leak.

Thats what I would figure too from the location. I replaced the valve cover gasket on that side already though. Not sure where else the oil could be coming from so it seems like it has to be coming there. If I replaced the gasket and its still leaking, does that mean my head/vavle cover isn't flat? When I replaced the gasket I looked at it everything and it looked perfect. I didn't see anywhere for the oil to be leaking threw.

How about the grommet on the rearmost valve cover hold down bolt?

pull the valve cover and make sure the gasket is firmly set in place. spread some oil along the mating surface of the gasket (like you would on an oil filter) before reinstalling it. also, like matrik said, make sure the grommet on the bolts is in good shape as well

Valvecover, maybe add some RTV.
