More than likely a valve cover gasket. The other major gaskets are the cylinder head (unlikely without other indications of failure) and oil pan (much lower on the engine).
See this:

Or do a wider search.
It would probably help if you posted a picture showing where the oil is leaking from.

That looks like part of the front cover. You might be able to find the parts here:

Unless it's leaking a lot, I'd just clean it regularly, and let it go.
