Change the gaskets and don't over tighten bolts that fasten the covers to the head. Also, place a dab of silicone on top of the half moon cam plugs to help with sealing.

No, he's talking about where the connection for the PCV tube it at.

Mine is doing the same thing and I haven't found a solution yet. It doesn't leak very bad, so it hasn't really been a priority yet.

Give the section a good soaking in hot soapy water, then rinse in metho, and leave out in sun to dry.

Then run some wick-in locktite threadlock into the gaps. That'll solve the problem.
