If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Not really oil? Plug not installed tight enough?
I don't think there's any way oil can get there unless it's a porous casting.
Clean it out, install plug correctly, monitor the situation?

The way it's constructed, I wouldn't think it would be possible.
Is the valve cover gasket leaking? Replace it if it is.

Doesn’t look like it. It’s cheap and easy enough I may just replace it to be on the safe side. Just wondering how oil got in there if plug was tight..
