Oil Leak [solved]

Any ideas on where this oil leak might be from? I replaced the valve cover gasket and its not that. There is no oil anywhere near the gaskets. I'm not sure what the round black disk on the side of the valve casing is. Could it be that?

This is from an 01 DX.

This. Same issue on our 2005 LX SE. Initially thought it was the rear main seal, after doing major work on the transmission. Oil was pooling on the bottom of the motor and garage floor. Was thrilled to find this plug was leaking and fixed it for < $10!
