My 1997 Honda Civic upon starting it a bunch of oil starts spitting out of the right side corner of the valve cover? Does anyone know what this Can be?

Sounds like your valve cover gasket is leaking in that corner. You could try tightening down that corner of the valve cover to see if it seals the valve cover gasket even more and might stop or slow down the leak.

But you might have to replace the valve cover gaskets. The valve cover gaskets are pretty cheap and easy to replace.
