well you could try re-torque the head down and see if that works or you can pull the head and spray some copper sealant on the headgasket

You'll feel quite foolish if you yank your head just to get to a a-ok part when your VC is dripping.

Are you really using a google picture to explain it?

Why don't you just take it off like I said and report back if you don't have a cam?

well as far as i can tell, if your car is EXACTLY like the pic you posted up then yes it's your valve cover gasket not your HG, since the oil is staining that head about 2-3 inches ABOVE the HG
