Does it seem to be from near the top? It could be distributor seal or a rear main if its down low. -
its not coming from the distributor, there is a lot of oil down low but there is also oil on top of the intake'90 LXComment

If it is the valve cover gasket, try using high-temp wheel bearing grease on both sides of the gasket. Definitely holds the oil in, and the valve cover comes off real easy the next time you need to get in there.
I also use it on the threads of oil drain plugs, so I don't have to replace the copper or composite washers on them, and the oil filter on its rubber gasket. Never have any leaks. Also the drain pan gasket.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

Possibly a head gasket (tho i know it doesnt explain the oil on top of the intake). Or what happend to me right after i rebuilt my car i didnt get all the funk off of my fuel pump washer thingy and it was leaking out of the bottom of that.
In other words
