07 Honda Elite 80 Valve Cover Seeping

[joew8638]

Im doing a valve adjustment as part of winter maintenance on my 07 Honda Elite 80 with 7,000 miles on it. When I go to do my valve adjustment ( I did the last one about 2,000 miles ago ) I clean off the valve cover and reuse the valve cover gasket which seems fine, but 2,000 miles later I have this oil seepage on it. Do you guys have that too? Common? Should I replace the gasket or put some sort of sealer on it?

Thanks,
Joe
