+1 there are seals that go around where the cam cover meets the head at each spark plug. That would be the culprit

if the cam cover was bad you would have oil all down the back end of the engine and all along the tranny. But if you do change the valve cover you might aswell change that while your in there.

Cam cover, valve cover, Its the same hunk of aluminum. the seals that are for the spark plug holes thought the "cover"seem to be leaking.
