leaking slight oil from Valve Cover

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

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
