Engine & Internal - OIL LEAKING OUT OF CYLINDER HEAD

I HAVE A SMALL OIL LEAK ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF MY CYLINDER HEAD BY WHERE THE VTEC SOLONOID WOULD BE IF I HAD VTEC. AND I WAS JUST THINKING IF I SHOULD JUST PUT A SOME KIND OF GASKET MAKER UNTIL I GET THE MONEY TO BUY A NEW MOTOR. WHY IF IT LEAKING?
