Its probably the rubber cam plug. Clean it good and apply a thin coating of silicone around the seam, this is usually a good temporary fix. To to it permanently requires you to drop the motor in order to gain clearance to remove the valve cover and replace the cam plug. Its a lot of work for a minor leak.

Thanks for the advice...It's not a bad leak but it's hard to keep the motor clean when you have a bit of oil seeping out .......I will definitely try the silicone fix............Thanks again
