Oil Leak?

i have a 2006 SR5 double cab with the venerable old 4.7L V-8. The last couple oil changes it gave less oil than it usually takes, but not much less, so I thought it was no big deal. Today, I crossed 193,000 miles and popped the hood and it looks like I might have a slow oil leak. Has anybody had this before or heard about this happening?

Notice the black around where it appears there’s a leak. it’s slow (almost no change in oil pressure and it’s just a tad low on the dip stick).

 

Welcome!

 

Should be a pretty minor leak in that area. It's a pretty involved procedure for the cam seals so if it were me I'd put it off until the next timing belt change.

Good info here

 

Try tightening down you Valve cover.

 

Welcome from Texas! Hope it gets fixed!
