Nope, usually means you need to replace your valve cover gasket.

exactly, no biggie, its actually very common when your car gets up there in miles, my last cars went around 80,000. So far, my Max is doing fine at 77+K miles...

Cool.
Between my 02 sensor, brakes, knock sensor, battery, both axles, all going on me this year alone, I'd probably cry if the answer was anything but.

Pretty easy to do?
Any tips?

I don't know about the max, but on my civic it was as simple as taking off the valve cover, slappinga new gasket on there, and putting the valve cover back on. It wasn't hard, but I don't know about the max.
