Is the leak on the driver's side of the motor? If so, thats where I have a leak also. On my car, it looks like its a coouple of the cam cover bolts. Its so slight it really hasn't worried me too much.

Look on the Pelican Parts tech forum. Guys there say the solution is to take out the bolts (I would do it one by one) clean the threads and then apply some thread sealer (not thread locker) to the bottom of the head of the bolt and to a few of the threads near the bolt head, and then re-torque.
