Most likely the cam cover gasket, very common issue.

Absolutely this ^ I've had both go bad on mine. The bolts holding them in back out and don't do well over time or the plastic itself cracks. If you have small hands it's a relatively easy job to do yourself but it took me a few hours of cursing to do mine.

There are many youtube videos on how to do them. The drivers side is harder than the passenger since the wiring harness is very tight on that side but I've done both sides. Took me a while the first time but now I can do them in about 30-40 minutes.
