Oil leak around head & block

[DWestfall]

I have an 03 SO with 59,000 miles on it. I noticed that along the drivers side of the motor especially towards the back of the motor I have an oil leak between the head and the block. Nothing serious but noticeable. Along the passenger side it is as well. You can see it is just moist. Is that normal for that many miles? I will be taking it in to have it looked at since I still have a warranty left. I like to have a clean motor! Any ideas or experience is much appreciated.

Mine also looks slightly "damp" (if metal can look damp). I figured it was normal seepage from the valve cover. I use no oil whatsoever between changes.

Ditto for mine! Just noticed it on the last oil change, figured I would use some Gunk Engine Bright or something to clean it up and watch it closer. Mine also does not use any oil between changes (except when replacing the bypass filter) and I usually go 10k between changes with 2 bypass changes.
