I think we found out where my oil is leaking. The valve cover gasket or lack of one! has anyone had any experience with this. I like the car a lot but from what I have seen the cost is through the roof!

If you decided to do the gasket, you might want to also do the PCV system to eliminate any build up pressure.

Note the part about the cam cover using a "liquid gasket" (sealant) and the procedure for removing/replacing the cover. Doesn't sound like a fun job.
