Time for a valve cover gasket change, including the bolt sealing washers. Not a big deal if you don't get to it right away, it's not going to lose a lot of oil. Be careful with the valve cover bolts, they don't require much torque when installed.

yes you can do that. Its not a hard job at all. Basic tools will get it done.

Remove manifold top plate then remove the manifold and remove covers and replace all gaskets and bolt seals

Wouldn't hurt to replace the PCV valve too, less than $30 for that part.

yes but since its leaking right now, you might as well get to it soon and change the oil afterwards
