    Been browsing today and I think I’m correct, but wanted to confirm if I have a valve cover leak.

    That's a seep, transitioning into a leak.
    You have anywhere from 6 months, to 6 years before you need to address it.......:anonymous:

    But yes, it looks like you are correct. The cover gaskets are the issue.

    Thought so! I saw it a couple years ago and very very little of anything but recently started seeing more. Now I know what I need to address thank you.
