Default Valve cover gasket leak?

I'm trying to clean up some oil leaks on my 85 MY, most of which (I hope) were from an ancient OPG. There is at least one from higher though, as seen in the picture. Is this most likely from the valve cover gasket? The PO put on a valve cover gasket set from 928Int 2 years ago, and most of his work seems pretty decent, but.....?

The oil on the PS hose is not pink, BTW.

Thanks.
Thon

1985 valve cover removal and installation can be a "bag-o-snakes".
Clean the area and make sure the leak is not coming from the washer with the rubber seal built onto it, directly under the bolt.
That washer is NLA, but people (including me) have figured out an alternative washer.
