do a compression check because if the head gasket is leaking oil you've probably got a blown head gasket. you may be thinking the valve cover is where the head gasket is and those do leak if there tightened to tight.

Only found one other post like what I've found.
There is oil pooled in the intake valley.
I took the VX in to a local shop to have dye put in the oil and have them trace the leak. Their result (at $55) was a big "idunno." I cleaned the sides of the block more and started tracing on my own some more. I ended up looking at the top of the engine for some reason and noticed the oil in the valley. It definitely has dye in it.
How could the PCV possibly get that much oil in there? Shouldn't the oil pulled by the PCV get burned up?
Where the heck is this coming from?
Anyways, I'm gonna pull the intake this weekend and see what I can see.

If there is oil in the valley UNDERNEATH the intake manifold, then it is probably the head gasket(s). Email me if you need a pic of the raw block with the heads off. I also have a perfect set of heads if you end up needing them. DI 3.5 will NOT be a drop in replacement.
