Re: Oil leaking from valve cover??
When I bought my car, I decided to clean the engine. I noticed old oil underneath the TPI intake and liquid oil on the valve covers. I wiped off oil on the valve covers and haven't noticed any more leakage. Keep an eye on it and see if more oil appears. You can then replace seals. New seals aren't too much anyways.
