Default profuse oil leak

i changed my oil about a month ago and last night i heard my motor making a weird noise so i checked my oil and there was almost none in there. upon inspection there was no oil under my car but there was some oil around my valve cover gasket... could oil be leaking from that gasket that profusely??

valve cover gaskets arnt that much bro just go to any auto zone and get urself a gasket and buy some silicon and put it on the gasket before replacing... ps. use the silicon around the cams more cuz it tends to leak there alot.
