Valve Cover is sweating oil, no apparent drops, so not actually leaking, annoying yes.

Can the oil pan be dropped enough to put a new gasket on it or is it a ROYAL pain in the butt?

It doesn't drip spots on the floor, but I'll wipe it off when I change the oil and in a few weeks, it is nasty again. I'm a clean freak. I don't like my motors all gummed up. I have 85K on the truck, but I would definately say it is "broke in". This truck has pulled trailers since it came of the lot. I buy them to work, not drive around and look purty. If I want to do that, I'll drive my Harley.
