Now its time to see where exactly the oil is leaking from. Its my valve cover and its leaking on 3 bolts and the oil cap it seems. I replaced all the valve cover gaskets and rings, made sure everything seated nice. I drove like 10 miles and now I have a little bit of oil in my spark plug valley area. What is next to do on fixing this? The head is clean and block is clean, no signs of oil leaking anywhere there.

Seems like a pattern	you're valve cover didn't crack did it? tuck some tissues around the oil cap and drive again. check to see if the tissues have oil on them
