So it would be safe to say that I'll have to plan on replacing valve cover gasket? Actually would probably be safe investment even if it is just a loose plug... thanks for the info.

I'll double check the plug in case it's loose but will be at auto parts store tomorrow anyway so i'll go ahead and pick up a gasket while i'm there.
