I have been after this leak for weeks now and it has steadily gotten worse. Oil is dripping off the right side valve cover and onto the heat exchanger. Not certain leak is comming from these covers but it does appear to. So far I have replaced the oil pressure switch and checked the oil pressure thermostat. The oil return tubes are also fine.

I have replaced the valve cover gasket twice. Today I installed the gaskets with the type having a silicone bead and torqued them to 7 ft-lbs. The cover checked straight. Still leaks.

I do have some minor weepage coming from the number 4 and 6 heads gasket but I don't think that is it.

What could I be missing here? Thanks.

Walt, have you checked the surface of the valve covers to make sure they are not warped? I have seen this problem on a lot of 911's. I fixed mine by putting on Turbo valve covers. I would try resurfacing them first.
