A ticking sound from the valve cover can be caused by several factors, including insufficient oil levels or oil viscosity, which can lead to inadequate lubrication of the valve train components. Worn or damaged rocker arms, lifters, or push rods may also contribute to the noise. Additionally, a loose valve cover or failing gasket can create gaps that allow noise to escape, amplifying the ticking sound. Regular maintenance and timely oil changes can help prevent these issues.

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 causes valve cover gaskets to break?
In my experience valve cover gaskets typically don't break until you remove the valve cover. Some (especially older style cork gaskets) tend to harden over time. Once that happens the combination of heating/cooling that expands and contracts the valve cover can cause leaks to develop. When the cover is removed to replace the old leaking part, some of the gasket might stick to the cylinder head breaking the gasket. Cheers
