I posted earlier today about me doing a scheduled check up and noticing oil on my shaft to the spark plug. well after putting the valve cover back on and going out for a bit I started to smell oil burning? So I pull over and to my surprise there is oil on the side of the front of my head going down my block? Now I am positive I put everything back to the way it was and made sure my valve cover was on nice and tight before I left the house. I am at my gf condo right now and typing to you guys lol. what do you guys think?

Valve cover gasket.
Did you use a new one? Did you apply silicone to the corners of the cam hump? Did you torque the bolts down properly? Etc.

a valve cover gasket isn't designed for you to add more sealeant around it. if you have to do this, then you have something else wrong.

Honda says put a little bit of hondabond on either side of the said "camshaft hump" on either side.
I'd say it's just time for a new Valve cover set. Should be able to pick one up at your local parts store for less than $20. That will include new spark plug tube seals with it
