leaking slight oil from Valve Cover

stansens

Way too much oil as mentioned. Might start with Centre threaded tube that holds sandwich plate onto engine and if it's tight then look into getting a new seal for the plate. If you clean off the oil all around filter and plate you might be able to see where it's leaking with engine running. As you know it should be fixed soon before a failure. Good luck and please post your finding so as to help others. Good luck.

Will do, I drove it to work this morning so I'll check for any oil on the ground later. Can't comment on low oil level yet as an oil change was done 2 days ago. However, I did get a faint burning smell which did not last too long, which I'm assuming may be a small bit of oil burning off on the manifold after the engine warmed up. Yesterday afternoon, oil temp gauge reached 95 degrees Celsius (203 Fahrenheit) while in traffic, was not driving hard at all.

Off topic, I also noticed that a clicking sound was coming from the rear when I;
1. Put the car into Drive from Neutral, Park, Reverse
2. Put the car into Reverse from Neutral, Park, Drive
3. Just before the vehicle comes to a complete stop
4. Intermittent on take-off

Thankfully, I was able to find a service bulletin regarding this, was for the 350Z, but still rectified the issue with my car. Link to TSB below

there are these paper looking O ring seals that supposed to come with those male adapters or compression steel braded hose connectors, it looks as they r missing in the pic, that's why ur leaking oil, no matter how much you tighten they will always leak.
