where could these valve cover & spark plug leaks be coming from? 2001 Honda Civic LX?

okay, so i changed my valve cover gasket twice, first time i pinched the spark plug seals in the valve cover and over tightened the valve cover causing a small leak on the side. this time i did it all correctly, but there is oil leaking outside the valve cover coming from the 4th spark plug cylinder. what could this be? i never changed the gasket/seal on the spark plug tube. i didn't know how to get it off, i only changed the spark plug seals under the valve cover. can someone please help me with this? new mechanic in the works, thanks in advanced for all the help.
