Wouldn't you be able to see the oil leak if it were on the valve cover gasket? Check your crank pulley, there is an oil seal behind it that can leak, especially if you have the ASP UDP.

Look under the car and see if the altenator is soaked with oil, mine was, and while doing the head job I found the leaks. 1. Leaking from the timing chain cover. 2. small bolt on the chain cover was very loose.
