You can trace to some degree by the droplets on the floor. At least you'll know from this 'roughly' the area to focus on.

Degrease everthing, making sure theres no dirt, no oil, no nothing on the engine. Go for for a drive then come back and check. Take in to consideration that the oil drips runs down/drips down from part to part, also wind to some degree.

B series engines (yes b18b2 is still technically b) tend to leak on the camseal, check that first. Then have a look at the rocker cover gasket and see all around for any leakage, another place would be on the left side were the headgasket is exposed inbetween the head and the block
