Need Help Diagnosing Leaks around Engine Block

No major leaks or oil on ground
any input would be appreciated

Looks like front cylinder head valve cover gasket leaks?
In addition, the red arrow points to the #6 camshaft thrust cover assembly in the picture & on the link below.
It is common for the #13 O-ring to leak on J-series engines.
Maybe use a can of brake clean (when engine is cold) and hose down this area as well as the front head area, where the valve cover meets the head, and monitor to pin point said leaks?

You’ve created countless threads about trying to fix your car only to break something else. Then when given advice, you state that you’re planning on selling the car so don’t want to put too much into it. Why not just sell the car as is and let the next owner take care of the problems pricing the car accordingly rather than half ass fixes .

bad advice? You’re the only one here that has a true visual of your car and can ascertain what is truly broken by inspecting. We can only provide potential solutions and it is your job to rule them out.

My handful of posts obviously gives you a sense of purpose. False sense that is

The thing about your trying to be the resident genius curmudgeon is that you actually have to be a genius to make that work.
