40-60K miles seems to be lifespan on the gasket.
I would also look very closely at the valvecover where the lowest/rear bolt is (in front of timing chain compartment).
I have seen quite a few valvecovers that crack around that specific bolt. Don't know why but it is always the same place.
If you buy a can of brake cleaner and clean that area you will see right away if the oil is leaking out through a crack in the aluminum or if it is in the split between cover and cylinder head.
