oil leak part two...

I've managed to get the oil pan gasket replaced on my truck. It's an '84 F-150, 4x4, HO351 4 bbl. As I'm completing this, I'm seeing oil from the TOP of the engine too. In you guys experience, is it most likely intake or valve cover gaskets? The pan gasket was trashed, and leaking, but as long as I'm filthy dirty, I may as well fix them all! Thanks all!

even so, the intake isn't too hard to change. just make sure you have a torque wrench.

I hope its only the valve covers, but the oil seemed to be running down the back of the block, so I'll probably change the intake gasket too. What are the bolts torqued to?
