I have a small oil leak on my car. It looks like its somewhere behind the passenger side valve cover. I already checked behind the valve cover and its dry there's no oil there. Is there any other place that it can leak from behind the valve cover (passenger side valve cover). Everything points the leak to somewhere on the right side of car behind the valve cover. Any suggestions?

Oil leaks usually requires the area that is wet to be cleaned and rechecked after some driving. If the leaks are minimal, it usually is a seal, gasket or O'rings. Only a visual inspection can verify the source.
