Pictures, I noticed a little oil underneath when on the hoist and some up top.

At first thought it looks like the valve cover gasket and something else?

Yea I already ordered a new oil cap last week just incase since I seen the oil on the plug wires before, would the oil cap be responsible for under engine oil too? Would it leak down enough? Nothing is leaking on the ground but there is fresh oil on the pan on the drivers side.
 
I'm sure the valve cover gasket is leaking down there by the way it looks in the pics. You might also want to check your pvc valve to see if it's any good.
 
Look very closely at the cover for cracks mine was cracked by one of the bolts and the top of the valve cover would start to collect a pretty decent amount of oil after a bit of driving.
