Why is there Moisture in the valve cover?
When the engine starts it is cold, as it warms up it builds heat which causes condensation to form. Since heat rises so does the condensation as it tries to excape through the PVC in the valve cover. As the engine cools it has the same effect, the valve covers are thin metal or aluminum they cool quickly but the oil in the pan is hot which causes the condensation to form on the valve covers.

What is that annoying ticking noise mustangs make when you change the oil?
The ticking sound is coming from the valve lifters. When the oil filter is changed, air is introduced into the system, which causes air bubbles to form in the oil. This causes the valve lifters to "leak down", which is what causes the ticking sound. It can take several days for the bubbles to dissipate. It's annoying, but harmless.

How do you locate an oil leak in a 93 Pathfinder that is not coming from the drain pan?
chances are that the oil is coming from the back of one of your valve covers. you could just try checking to see if your valve cover screws are loose, if they are tight you will have to change the gasket. just run your hand behind the heads and you will know right away if that's where your leak is....
