Valve cover seal? Especially where it goes over the camshaft bearing cap.

i removed the upper part of the cam belt cver this area is completely clean i traced the oil its coming from the area of the a/c compressor exactly in the area between the engine crank case and a/c compressor bracket what can cause such oil leak?

Oil pan seal then? Could the oil be dripping somehow from the oil cooler line? It is not far away. I had a leak on the cooler line once.
What is the pressure in the engine oil cooler?
