Where exactly is the oil coming from? Where the valve cover meets the head?

i think i figured it out, when i was pouring oil in i wasnt using a funnel and kinda driped a bit on the valve cover where the oil cap screws in, i think it ran down the line of the metal cover in the middle and spread its way out down the front and back corner of the one side
