Man, that's clean, you should see mine. That seems to be a common leak area for these engines, I have some oil there. It's a small amount. I think sometimes a little bit of oil can 'sweat out' and remain there. Different from a full-blown 'leak' per se.

Silicon sealer is all that is required, no gasket available.

Valve Cover pictures
Some pix of the removed cover plate I believe it is the oil collector I hear that the 113 engine has this common problem.. Is there anythine else back there to check or clean while I have it off and the stuff moved out of the way?
