Bad oil leak......

Ok so I've got an '84 toyota pickup with a basicaly bone stock 22r motor. Lately I've been noticing it leaking some oil. So kinda cleaned the motor so that i could maybe see where it was comeing from. Its on the passenger side. it looks like it was comeing out between the head and block. But there is no water in the oil so I dont know if it can be a head gasket or what... I'm not possitive that thats where its comeing from but has anyone ever had an oil leak like this?

Ive had valve cover gaskets leak on the back side and run down on the head making it look like the head was leaking oil, but a new valve cover gasket fixed the leak. If you have water in the oil thats a more serious problem, your timming chain could have worn through the timming cover, or you could have a blown head gasket, or possibly a cracked head.
