I got an oil leak on the top of the engine on the drivers side right near the oil pressure switch. I took the switch off yesterday and the entire plastic housing inside was filled with oil where the harness goes into and I replaced the switch. Now I have a small drop of oil that runs right directly underneath it but I cant pinpoint it. It's a small drip that happens every 20-30 seconds. I also have oil wetness on the back of the engine I believe where the valve cover is. There's also oil around the front of the engine where the fuel injectors are. I also have a slight misfire I believe when I go to accelerate.

Does this sound like a leaky valve cover gasket? and it causing a misfire too? I'll look more tomorrow.
 
It could be but you have to determine the exact cause. Clean the engine and look for the source of the leak. if the spark plug connections are oil soaked it could cause an issue.
