So,
As you mention it, there is in fact enough oil leaking that it is getting to the "drain" at the end of the head and leaking down the side of the head. I noticed this and cleaned the oil with a rag while I was checking the plug gap about two weeks before actually changing the plugs out, at which time the oil that I had cleaned with the rag was back, almost as abundant as it was before.
At this point I am going to replace the valve cover gasket anyway and if it helps the idle issue than great! If not I'll have to keep digging...
As for my oil dipstick, it seems to lock tight and is in good shape.
