wow....honestly man your gonna have to supply us with pics to fully understand what you talking about. If it is coming from the valve cover, might just be the VC gasket.

If it is coming from there and your oil level is correct, then it is just your vc gasket like ^^^ said

never mind, the retard said he for got to put the seals under the bolt's when he changed his valve cover gasket. and i think he is using the "my mom wont let me sell you the motor" excuss.

Could be signs of blow by, pistons and or piston rings could possibly be going bad, but that's if it burns alot of oil as well and that you have to continue to add oil to the motor all most every day :thinking:
