I recently just got done with a headgasket/clutch job on my car and when i went
to start it up it started leaking oil badly from this spot..

my vote is the hose...look at the brand new drop right under the connection where the line has a hose clamp onto the elbow
 
well it seems like oil is on the intake cam too
and looks like its coming from the valve cover..
maybe the camshaft seals? and or valve cover gasket?
I don't know.. >.<
It seems like the valve cover gasket doesn't seal

Resolved,

Got the "fully assembled" head from the shop
and it didn't have camshaft oil seals in it..
LOL, So i threw some in and everythings fine now :D:hellyeah:
