In the interest of complete transparency, there is currently a minor oil seep at the valve covers. The valve cover gaskets have recently been replaced twice, but a slight weep remains. Because the gaskets have already been replaced, the stamped valve covers themselves may not be perfectly flat at the sealing surface. Replacing the valve covers would be a logical next step toward correcting the minor leak. It does not take away from the overall driving experience and is a relatively straightforward item for the next owner to address.
