That'll be a negative then chief.

Replaced valve cover gaskets on both sides a few months ago - they look nice and clean!

Turns out the driver side valve cover was leaking badly from the front where the power steering pump is and running down and under the oil pan. I didnt have any leaks because it was sticking to the bottom of the oil pan and when moving would get blowed through the underside of the car.
If I were you, I'd do a through check under the car torwards the front and side of the engine.
Used to leak oil that'd fall on my exhaust manifolds and burn, but I recently just replaced my gaskets and everything has been nice and clean since...
