If the valve cover is leaking it may let oil flow down the head and make the Head gasket appear to be leaking. Clean the engine and then use oil dye or watch for leaks. If there is a coolant leak it is not the valve cover.

What is the ticking sound under my hood of 2000 tracker?
Hi, It could be a dry or worn bearing on a belt pulley, a dry valve lifter, or a leaky gasket. Pray that it is a leket or pulley, as they are eay and relatively cheap to repair. I had a tick when accelerating in my '00 tracker and it turned out to be a leaky egr valve gasket. I just had to take the egr valve off, scrape away the old gasket with a paint scraper and put a new gasket on. About $25 and a couple of hours later ... no tick. Hope this helps
