What you're seeing is the spot where the coolant is POOLING, not necessarily where it's leaking from.

Clean that oily mess with some Brakleen and dry the entire area completely. Drive the thing a couple days and look again. Should be easier to pinpoint. Feel free to post some more pics.

Also, snap a pic from higher and more to the left....

As I recall there are a couple temp sensors in the side of the head above that location. They tend to leak.

The oil leak is probably from either the distributor O-ring or the valve cover gasket. Make sure you use Hondabond in all the 90 degree "corners" of the valve cover gasket.
