First use a torque wrench to retorque each of the valve cover bolts. If this does not stop the oil leak, then pull the valve cover off and replace the gasket:

Also remember to dab a little black silicone on all the corners of the valve cover gasket. ALL of the corners, any where there is a sharp point.
