Default Valve Cover Gasket Leak

I know this is a common problem with our cars. There are many threads on it. Just never thought it would happen to me! I had my car 5 years (bought new) and thought this was the one problem I could avoid.

I guess when you drive the car every day you don't notice it. But I didn't run my car in almost a month. I turned it on and was looking under the hood. I saw the little line of smoke coming up from the passenger side. It smelled line burned oil. Then it went away after the car warmed up.

I guess I will have it fixed one day. Just not in the mood to bring it to a dealership. I still have more than a year left on the warranty. Please tell me this is normal in any car (not just the crossfire). I am hoping this is a small minor dribble.... that I only notice it because my car sat for too long. What do you think?
