A clogged PVC valve will cause it to throw oil. They are cheap. The gaskets might need replacing,but try engine sealer first after you replace PVC.If you clean your engine,this is how I do it.
I use GUNK,or WalMart brand engine degreaser. Spray it all over,avoiding electrical sensor and connections. You can cover them with plastic or foil. Clean to engine cold,like after sitting all night.Aluminum heads will warp. Leave on 30 minutes,and gently spray off with water. What I use is a gallon garden sprayer,filled with boiling hot water. And spray enough to remove degreaser. Let engine dry and help it dry by wiping up water with a towel.

Usually the valve covers. To be sure, clean the cold engine with a detergent such as Simple Green. Spray it on, rinse it off. (Unless you know what you are doing, I wouldn't use a power washer - as you may force water into places it should go.) Mild hose pressure isn't much worse than the car would see during hevay rain or you hitting a puddle.
ANyway, once its clean you should be able to see the oil leak.

Their are 5 places that Honda leak. None require removing the motor. on the Accord i've got seen the stability shaft seal come out. This seal is placed in the back of the timing belt conceal. In ten years of engaged on Honda's I even have seen one oil pan leak. i'm thinking it extremely is the stability shaft seal, Honda sells an improve equipment so the seal doesn"t come out. yet whilst your going to circulate into the timing belt conceal, the two belts are ruined, oil injury. So we are watching timing belts,water pump,cam seal,crank seal, stability shaft seal/w equipment-500.00 value

check your engine oil level, if the level keeps dropping even after your add more oil, there is leakage. The leakage can be very small, so you don't see under the car. If the oil warning light goes on (low oil pressure), then you may damage your engine.

the previous owner never clean the engine.
soaking or sipping.... is just that.
dripping is a differant matter.
