Default Small Oil leak

Popped my hood today to do a normal, routine check under there and noticed a small puddle of oil underneath the right rear of the valve cover, on the head itself.

Cam seal?

I cleaned it off and let it run for an hour and then it set and cooled for 2 and there was a droplet of oil.

If its the 420a yeah theres some kind of seal there i dont remember what it is, i smoked way too much burnt oil yesterday (long funny story about a VW bug breaking down), but its a half moon kinda metallic part, i think some silicone would do the job quite right

Looks like it may be the gasket... Take a bigger picture so we can see a little more..

I'm certain its not the valve cover gasket, since its got less than 3k miles on it.
Its that rubber seal in the pic, I just don't know what its called.
