It can't hurt. It may be an easy fix.

Clean everything up around the valve covers. Retighten the bolts. If you find that none of the bolting is loose. Good chance that you will have to change the gaskets. If you find a couple of the bolts loose. You may get lucky and stop the leak. Only time will tell with this.
