SO I have a little leak- maybe 2-3 drops a day from the case halves- not sure if this is something I can do much about- and i DON'T want to pull the engine or crack the case to do it- just curious if there's any solutions out there? my car doesn't burn any oil or smoke at all so I really don't have any reason to get inside the motor right now.

Will do- I need to get the engine tray off and get this up in the air to figure out- it's a very very Small amount, but I'd like to fix it

Just wanted to post the follow-up. About a week after my initial post about the right valve cover gasket leaking...an oil spot appeared under the left valve cover gasket...it decided to leak too! I thought that was weird timing. Anyway, I took it to my independent mechanic and they replaced both gaskets. And they did NOT have to drain the oil...they had just done the oil about 500 miles prior. All is well in again.
