Valve cover leak?? HELP

I’m super OCD about my car and this is really giving me anxiety. I have had sorta a loss of power for a bit but haven’t gotten any codes or really much loss of mpg. But I opened my bonnet and saw oil on my valve cover. Do you guys think it’s oil feed line or the valve cover leaking? I’m blaming the power loss on hpfp but I have yet to get any codes.




thanks you guys!

Looks like a valve cover leak to me. Pull an ignition coil off one of the plugs and see if there is any oil on the boot could explain the loss of power.
