This is a strong running motor but i have been noticing a think build up on the driver side valve cover .. i cleaned it off but it keeps coming back .. im pretty sure its oil but i cant find where its coming from ... anyone got any ideas?

The motor runs 80 lbs of oil pressure driving down road and around 25-30 idling...

Sounds like you are getting some blowby due to worn piston rings..My old engine done the same thing, blew oil out of every orifice it could find, even the dipstick tube :lol: Yet the engine still ran fine..
