Sounds like it's leaking from the rocker cover gasket. No biggie.

Sounds like a head gasket or warped head… Has you engine run real hot lately (ie, close to the red??).

ok guys thank you for your advice.
Its not from the rocker cover gasket, bout 40mm below it there is a horizontal join its coming from there.
