    Also, is your valve cover leaking along with the camshaft plugs on the rear of the motor leaking? What about power steering fluid level? What does it look like when you check the dipstick level on the PS pump reservoir? I would suggest checking those things, degreasing it with your degreaser of choice(purple power, simple green exc) the. Rinsing with hose or pressure washer(from a distance lol!). Sometimes the valve cover gaskets can drip into the most obscure of places, and make it seem like something is more than it really is.
