Could i be losing Power?

due to a leaky valve cover gasket? car is feeling a little lethargic lately and that is the only thing i've really noticed that seems logical. maybe loss of compression because of the faulty gasket? any ideas?

valve cover does not hold any compression so it should not be the cause.
Check for a slipping belt or boost leak.
