Default Slight Oil Leak?

Ok here's the deal I have a 99 V6 with a 2002 GT Motor I repleaced the PCV about 2 months ago cause I had a small oil leak around the valve. that took care of the leak for awhile. Now it has started leaking again, but it is only collecting into the rear two bolt holes on the valve cover. also the PCV has oil around it and on it. It's not leaking so bad I would run out of oil I check fluids every day or two. But it's just kind of annoying! Could it be my valve covers? or a worn out hose?

Also where is somewhere I can find valve covers for a decent price?

Pull one of the coil packs back there and see if there's any oil in the plug well. it might be a bad valve cover gasket. They are very inexpensive and relatively easy to change.
