Default Valve Cover Gasket Leak

For a while now I have noticed a stain on my oil pan. I've looked around and te belhousing seemed dry...Someone on this forum mentioned that he had his valve cover leak so I decieded to check the torque of the bolts. The front bolts were not loose but not at torque either so I cranked them down. I checked the rear bolts but first felt the top of the head, felt damp. The rear bolts were definately under torque so I went at it. Hopefully that'll shut it up otherwise I'll be getting new gaskets for it. Something worth checking before running to the dealer with the rear main TSB.
