Why is my Toyota Levin leaking oil?

My 1999 Toyota Levin AE111 appears to be leaking oil. Recently I put in a new gasket. It looks like the oil is coming out the right hand side and collecting on top of the gearbox. I'm at a loss.

Any ideas?

Hi Ray,

It's not clear if the leak was after you changed the gasket or before and I assume you mean the rocker cover gasket rather than the head gasket.

Assuming all that is ok, then the next thing to check is the camshaft oil seals.
