    Looks like the leak is coming from the joint between the valve cover gasket and the end plate gasket.

    Pop the end plate off, remove the gasket. Sung down the cam cover about about 8nm of torque. Check to see that the cam cover gasket is flush with the end of the head and cover. If it is shallow, use some RTV silicone to fill the gap, install a new end plate gasket and refit the end plate with a surface smear of RTV around the entire surface of the gasket. That should take care of the leak.

    Seems like something I can tackle in the garage without a lift as there is plenty of clearance from above. Thanks!
