I have had a relatively slow oil leak in my car almost as long as I have had it. It has recently become more noticable...I just topped up my oil a month ago and it already needs another top up. This appears to be the source of my oil leak...would this be a valve cover gasket? The first one is a zoomed in shot of the leak, the second one is from the exact same position just not zoomed in so you can see exactly where it is coming from.

Has toyota/lexus solved the issue with these gaskets? Finding one online has not been as easy as finding other gaskets for this car so I was just going to go down to the local Toyota dealer and have him order one but if this is a known issue...I got a guy who will do it for 200 Euro if I buy the gasket.

Ohoopee

so having a look around ebay and such...I find several "rocker cover gasket" but no valve or head cover gaskets. Are they the same thing?
