Oil Leaking from Front of Valve Cover - Already Replaced Valve Cover & Grommets

I replaced the valve cover gasket with a new gasket and bolt grommets from RPM. Went for my first ride around the block 3 times and there is a small amount of oil leaking from this very front part I think it's coming out of the valve cover but not 100% sure. Curious if this is a common issue with FJ's?

In other new had my first ride since I got her as a barn find in September and 1st feels strong and she goes into 2nd and that feels strong too. Gas tank is still rusty I just use a little external bottle for around the block but I'll need to sort out the gas tank issue among some other details.
