oil leak help Options

[captb]

for a few months now i've been leaking a few drops of oil a day. nothing major but i finally got time to look for the leak today.

what i found:
1) there are signs of oil reaching just below the cylinder head. only on rear side of engine though.
2) i cleaned underneath and ran idle for 10mins and didnt see anything.
3) #3 spark plug had oil, but not on where the spark comes from, mostly on the threads and head.
4) there was some oil in the distributor cap.

car info:
1) 125,000miles
2) never touched engine bay for minimum 4months

im thinking it may be the head gasket, or does my engine block need an overhaul. all help is appreciated.

oil dripping down the back of the block is valve cover gaskey leak, same with distributor, distributor also has its own seal or u can just FIGP around it.
find someone with a compression meter and check each cylinder, if there is a large variance it could be headgasket or valve seals
