Only once before and I had it repaired. Oh course it was my Ford and hear that it is pretty normal for them.

Where, what and or how would be nice.

if it is not much it could be the pan gasket.
There is a thread on this. I had the gasket changed on my 04 because of a drip every couple of days.

unless its actually running down the side of the engine or you see a puddle anywhere I wouldn't worry. If you want to clean that area up, go buy a valve cover gasket and replace the old one. Clean the area prior to installing the new gasket of course.

I did have this issue about 3years ago while still under warranty, been fine ever since.

I had this happen to me right after I changed my oil. My filter wasnt all the way on there though. I dropped about a quart and a half of oil.
