My s2000 has an oil leak somewhere on top of the Valve Cover.
My guess is its the Washer Seals that hold down the VC.

but I would like more opinions.

I notice oil (mist and a very very small pool) in the spark plug area, under the black cover but not in the Spark Plug wells.

also notice a mist around some of the Washer seals. i pulled them off cleaned it up and applied honda bond. yet the leak continues.

any other ideas? spark plug seals? i wouldnt of thought it was as there isnt oil stuck to the coil pack or inside the well does not feel oily either, visually it doesnt look like there is a pool of oil in there and there is no misfiring.

I have replaced the Spark plug tube seals, the washer ring seals and the VC gasket itself + the PCV O ring.

very annoying for it to leak with fresh seals, unless maybe i damaged the VC washer seals

maybe it needs to be gooed up a bit before it'll seal properly

yeh i did sprayed degreaser to a rag and rubbed the surfaces then applied honda bond HT to the seals and waited a few minutes then tightened them down, thinking i might take it to honda and tell them to sort it out.

the cover shouldnt be warped, but the leak isnt on the bottom of the VC its the top.
