Default Valve cover gasket leaking? (PIC)

So me and my buddy were snooping around under my hood last night, and discovered this:



I havent changed the oil in 2k miles or so, so it couldnt be me being sloppy pouring oil in. What do you guys think? I'm thinking it might be the valve cover gasket having a small leak

It's the valve cover grommet thats leaking. Four of them on my car were doing the same thing last year. Instead of paying alot for new ones at a stealership, I went to a junk yard, found crown vic with the same motor and took them off of that. No more leaking.
