So on the top side of my 6.9 drivers side there has been a small oil leak onto the exhaust manifold from the valve covers. I think it's also leaking from the back side of the valve cover and leaking down all over everything.

Anyone concur? I wiped the oil cooler off from the residual oil and it took forever to get oil on it again from wherever it's coming from so it's not it. And since I have that obvious leak from the front of it it would make sense the gasket is bad..

Sounds like a valve cover leak. The little tabs should be flexible/pliable if the gasket is still good. If they snap off then it’s time to replace it

I agree with this. I'd recommend changing both of them too, not just one.
