Oil seeping along the cover's sealing edge, a visibly warped or damaged cover, or the smell of burning oil can mean the valve cover needs replacing. Before you replace it, rule out other nearby oil sources, because a leak at another seal or fitting can leave a similar oil trace; look with the engine off and cool.
