Oil will eat thru old plug wires and your truck will start running bad at some point.
Most likely your valve cover gaskets are bad and should be replaced. Probaobly would be a good idea to replace your plug wires as well as your cap and rotor if they haven't been done in awhile.

Ditto on the valve cover gaskets. I just picked of a set from www.discountbritishparts.com for about 30 bucks. These are the genuine gaskets... Depending on what year truck you have, you may need the longer valve cover bolts too, about .75 each...
