Looks like i'm starting to get the rear corner valve cover gasket leak...is there any upgrade or better than stock available out there??

Check the screws holding them on. They tend to loosen for some reason.

You have a couple of options, replace them and they will start leaking in 6 months, tighten them a little and possibly crack the dried seals causing a bigger leak or live with it realizing you own a Rover with all it's leaks.

The leak or seepage i don't really care about...it's the damn oil burning smell because it drips down on the exhaust......but if there's nothing available that's better.....so be it!!!

Dean,
go power scrub your engine once in awhile, if nothing else it will look cleaner.
Have a good Turkey day.

$13 for a pair of new neoprene gaskets- so it's a cheap job to do, but it takes a little time to get all the junk outta the way when doing it.
