Default Oil Leak Help

My damn car wont quit dripping oil. It is only a tiny amount, but it adds up on the garage floor over time. Every time I drive it, and park it in the garage, it drips about 4 drips. It is driping off the oil pan, but I can see the stains all the way up to the engine. Is it coming from the valve covers?

Where else could it be coming from?

Dip Stick tube? Oil Pressure fitting on the intake? Distributor gasket?
Valve covers, most likely or the intake .

When I got mine, it dripped from around the oil sending unit.
Might check that too.

Could be the front timing chain cover seal.
