Leaking valve cover???
Hey guys... just wanted some input on this. I've noticed that it looks like there's oil in these spots under the plastic engine cover. I suspect it could be a bad valve cover gasket. Here's a picture.... let me know what ya think... thanks

If the vc is leaking you'll see oil along the top of the heat sheild. Oil under the plastic covers most likely from oil spillage whilst putting in oil.
If the gaskets haven't previously been replaced it's likely that all of them will need replacing on a 2007

Like states above it could also just be old overspill .
