I have a 95 MPV that is leaking a small (very small) quantity of oil from the valve cover gasket on the pssenger side at the rear of the engine. Is this something I should fix right away? I never notice a drop in the oil level on the the dip stick, and the oil is never enough to reach the ground. The only problem is a slight cook off of oil on the manifold. Any thoughts?

it wont hurt anything as long as you keep checking the oil and your sure its just the valve cover gasket.
If it looks easy to get the covers off I'd replace it just so i didnt have oil all over the driveway

This problem has already been mentioned at another website at mpvclub.com.
Here's the link for what they call the "cam leak":

I hope I don't offend anyone, but just want to help here by having you guys go to another forum which has already documented these problems.

I dont think you'll offend anyone by offering info, but really it kinda looks like your recruiting...that might tick a couple people off.
Do so at your own risk
