3rd Generation Oil leak motor-need advise

I have a 96 Camry 4 cyl. I have oil dripping out first started a little now seems to be increasing. I looks like it is coming from the rear of the motor cause when car is parked level it leaks more than when it is parked with front end going down slope. I have not had a chance yet to get it on car ramps. I am looking advice to see if there is something that I should be looking for that is usually an issue for that model car?

Tighten the valve cover.

+1.

Borrow a 30mm socket and torque wrench from Autozone's free loaner program (with deposit), and tighten to 17 lb/ft.
