Default Macan valve cover gasket issue

Stupid question but is there a way to see if the valve cover is leaking from the top of the motor? I'm looking at buying a 2015 and they say it doesn't leak (nothing on the floor) but wondering if there is a way you can tell from the top of the motor? I'll crawl underneath it once I'm there but just wondering from the top perspective. The truck has 73xxx miles on it and wondering if it was to have a leak it would have leaked already?

You could buy one of those endoscope cameras. They are pretty cheap.

Amazon Amazon

There are many others.

However, I assume you will be doing a pre-purchase inspection if you get series.

I wasn't planning on it since it's only $28k but it's probably good to isn't it. I'll have to call the local Porsche dealer and see what they charge.
