Those old original valve covers develope cracks around the bolt holes then leak oil down on the motor. You can get a set of chrome ones for around 50 bucks that have "Ford" stamped on them. I took mine off and through them away because of leaks.

Mine did too. I think its from years of over tightening. A good set of billet covers or If they make a kind of ring thingy that can be placed over the hole pattern...would more evenly distribute the load and not promote stress cracking in the bolt area. Heck you could make your own...one for the top row and one for the bottom out of a pies of alluminum, a strip running from front to back would spread the load and save your cover and it would help prevent leaks.
