oil leak

Hi guys, I have a 3vze with an oil leak. It has new valve cover seals, cam seals, and main seals. The oil leak went from a shower of oil before to just a small stream now. It's coming from the passenger side about where the head meets the block behind the timing cover...approximately. There is no coolant in my oil, and no oil in my coolant. Anyone have any ideas before I go pulling it apart again?

Pull the timing cover?

If the cam seals were replaced, you've obviously had the timing cover off. Can't think anywhere else in that area you'd have oil coming from ....

When you re-installed the valve cover, did you place the seal packing i.e. oil resistant RTV in the spots indicated on page EG2-78, step 5:
