you need to clean the oil off the engine to see where it is coming from,then retorque the cam cover bolts if loose and remove the cambelt cover to check the camseals are`nt leaking

Sounds like knackered oil seal .

camshaft oil seals need replacing and rocker cover gasket and then your porblem will be solved no more oil leaks anyway in that area but you will need a timing belt to as you need to remve the timing belt cam sprockets so have a garage do this as its no a straight forward job to do hope this helps you here
