Ok, here is the issue. I had my car running and after it was hot oil started leaking out of the header gasket, only on one side. All of the bolts were tight and my valve cover or intake is not leaking either. I can literaly see it coming out of the gasket. I pulled one plug and it was dry. A while ago I did spill alot of oil on that header and gasket so go you guys just think that the gasket it just soaked and its coming out when it warms up? THANKS, Joe

Not too many sources for oil in the area you're describing.
If it's not the v/c gasket leaking then I'd go with you soaking the header gasket as the source.
Replace it and see.
