Slight Oil Leak

[bruinlax22]

I have a slight oil leak. No drips are left behind where I park or anything. I changed the oil recently and haven't lost very much if any at all. From what I understand, it's either the valve cover gasket or the head gasket but the car isn't smoking or overheating so I dont think it's the head gasket. Any suggestions, help, etc???? If anyone can help, I took pictures and can email them or get them hosted here somehow...Thanks in advance...A picture is attached of the area that it's leaking from...

Here's an idea, change the valve cover gasket.

Can't tell you without looking at it. But if you're sure there are no other signs of trouble, it's probably the VC. Make sure you wipe down the area really well so you can tell if other lesks exits after you put the VC back. Use RTV, it will help seal it up. Be careful not to overtighen the bolts as the cover cracks and the head strips easily. Have fun.
