the signs of a valve cover leak are oil on the engine
oil is the only thing that can leak from a leaky valve cover
I would not expect a valve cover leak to cause a car to stall. A valve cover leak can fill the spark plug area with oil which can cause rough running.
Dear Honda owner, Valve cover leak? I assume you are refering to an external oil leak from the valve cover, replace the gasket, be sure the new gasket set comes with spark plug seals.
Spark plugs do not leak oil. What you have is a valve cover gasket leak. This allows oil to run down on the plugs. Try slightly tightening the valve cover bolts. It that does no help, replace the gasket.Spark plugs do not leak oil. What you have is a valve cover gasket leak. This allows oil to run down on the plugs.

Assuming you mean "valve cover gasket", the gasket seals the valve cover to the head so as not to leak oil.
The oil leak is coming from the valve cover gasket and leaking onto the exhaust manifold, the rubber valve cover gaskets get hard from the engine heat and start to leak, you will have to replace the rubber valve cover gaskets to stop the oil leak
Usually that is a leak on top of the valve cover area and running all the way down.Usually that is a leak on top of the valve cover area and running all the way down.
either tighten the valve cover bolts, or replace the gaskets.
you will see oil all around the valve cover and running down the side of the block.
If the leak is large enough, all of the oil could leak out in minutes.
the valve cover gasket is bad, or the valve cover is loose
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.
Yes
