Change the valve cover gasket with the "kit" that includes plug tube seals, grommets, etc.... and change the O-ring on the distributor base... those leak a lot, too.
Put a small dab of Hondabond in the corners of the VCG when you install it.
I just use Driver or Passenger side to avoid confusion from the dyslexic.
Change the cam seal too. If it's still loosing oil, clean the engine off and you should get a better idea of where the leak is.
