There SHOULD only be oil inside the valve covers. If they leak coolant you have a serious problem.

Are leaky valve covers a common problem on the 3.0L 4x4s do to the plastic covers?

It is sometimes a problem but not necessarily due to the material the valve covers are constructed of. Check all the bolts holding the valve covers on an tighten them to exactly 5 lb/ft of torque and no more. If that does not stop the leak, then the valve cover gaskets will need replacing. If the oil leak is very slight, I would just leave it alone, as this can be an expensive repair unless you do it yourself.
