I had good results by replacing the 3 (4?) bolts along the lower cam cover. I took them out one at a time, thoroughly cleaned the threads going into the head by chasing them gently with a tap, flushing with brake cleaner, then installing the new, micro encapsulated bolTs from the dealer with a good goober of sealant. Don't over torque the bolts!
It's hasn't completely solved the leak, but it went from a persisten drip to a drop of oil every now and then.
