Hi y'all! Hoping someone can tell me if this is more than likely the result of a valve cover gasket leak. I've cleaned it up a bit but before it was pretty soaked in oil/dust... Just wanna make sure before I go and order parts to fix her up Thanks for any/all help!

clean it off really good and see if it comes back.

Looks like youre right, but you should have posted it dirty for us to really see.

Replace valve cover gaskets, and do spark plugs while you're in that area

Vander- good idea! Thank you for the input . Still trying to determine the cause/causes...

Vander is right..valve cover gasket would be the cheapest start
