4th Generation [gulp!] How bad is it?




Opened up the hood today, first thing I noticed was what appeared to be splashes of something on a hose, followed it back and...uh oh.
Bought the car 3 months ago and thoroughly cleaned the engine to make this kind of thing stand out should it happen. will I have to shoot her?

looks like a leaking valve cover is dripping oil which is then blowing up as you drive down the highway. yeah, take the car in back and shoot it. this will take a hour to fix and about $20 in parts.

If I'm lookin' at the right thing, it looks like the front valve cover gasket has a bad leak. Easy fix. Unless I'm missing something.
