Its not ideal but it won't kill you.

Probbly a leaking rocker cover. (Sounds simple, but its a big job!)

There another little plate that sits near the 4th plug. Mine is leaking aswell.

Apparently not a big job if its just that. Have a search it was covered not long ago.

VVT o ring could be leaking, that's where it usually ends up.
