I've got some oil seepage on the left side of the engine. Are there any head gasket issues or is it just my car?

Front, middle or back? Up high or down low? There is the oil filter housing and the oil to water heat exchanger at the left front corner. And probably some breather-type hoses going down to the dipstick area.

It's at the top, left, rear. To me it looks like it's coming from the valve cover gasket but I'm not sure because it's been there a while.
