The past few oil changes I've noticed oil all over the passenger side of my engine block, yesterday I noticed its on the driverside now too, does this sound like it could be a valve over gasket?

Start with the valve cover gasket, it's cheap.

but before you do, get a bottle of Greased Lightning or Purple power degreaser. Cover the Air intake hole and spray down the entire engine with the degreaser and let it soak for 10 minutes then hose it off. It's way easier to trace the source on a clean, dry engine.

Mine was the head gasket. Everyone said "That's not possible" but it was.
There are some decent pictures in my thread.

Hopefully yours is just the Valve cover gasket though.
