One of the tube seals is bad. Usually they come in a set with the valve cover gasket just replace all of them

when you remove all you have to the tubes you replace will be oil free, or you can remove the spark plugs and crank engine, but if your leaking alot while the oil comes out the holes more will go back in it.

so good luck. once you open it up it will be like a can of corn, you will be changing all kinds of stuff.
