The oil Pressure sending unit is back there. They can leak too. Or even a valve cover gasket.

Oil really doesn't pass thru the head gasket, a coolant leak could be a head gasket, oil is more likely something easier and cheaper to fix!

First thing I would do is just check the valve cover bolts are tight ( go easy, it doen't take much to break them! )

Then clean everything up and try to locate where it's coming from.
