From experience, the leakage is often caused by overpressure under the valve covers and this is related to clogged breather tubes. The culprit is often the valve referred to as a suction pump. It's a cheap ($14) part that should be replaced when you do the valve cover and cam gaskets. There are myriad writeups regarding this service on the site.
