I had the same problem on my '88 SPG, I noticed a little smoke coming from around the exhaust manifold + what I thought was power steering fluid around the pass. side motor mount area. I ran my finger under the valve cover and noticed oil. I replaced the valve cover gasket on Wednesday, and the problem is gone. I also noticed a visible decrease in the drip marks on the driveway. Chances are that if this has never been replaced, it's probably seeping a little bit.
If you do decide to replace the valve cover gasket yourself, sparingly apply silicone where the Bentley manual suggets. I also used a thin bead of silicone on the lower edge of the valve cover.
