I think you will find that the valve cover gasket is leaking. The gasket is a large rubber "o" ring in a grove in the valve cover itself. I fixed mine by removing the valve cover and applying RTV silicone gasket sealer to the "o" ring. (any auto parts store.) 12 bolts hold the valve cover in place. Add a little extra RTV in the corners near the cam gears when you replace the cover. Allow a couple of hours to dry before starting the engine. Don't gob on the RTV.
The fix is easy and only takes about twenty min.
