My GS-T had oil like that around the valve cover but reason for that was a bad gasket. Not saying the previous onwer didnt beat on it, that i dont know, but it could be a gakset....? Fixed it, wiped oil off and it was all better.

Well the gasket doesnt go out... because that implys like a kind of bang.. or sudden depressurisation. The valve cover is not under any considerable amount of pressure.. so it doesnt 'go out'. It just gradually leaks due to oil being pushed out... and the only thing that causes that is when the motor is put under stress.
So im saying... oil doesnt get forced out when the car is babied.
For example... the red GSX i showed you.. and the car i showed you just the hood picture. Big difference
