i no the rear valve cover always leak. they are knwo for that. i have had 2 diff max and they both were leakin. and i work at a shop and have had 8 the same thing. cheap it. wat you could do is purple power everything thats oily and wash it to clean it up and drive it for a wile and just keep an eye on it and see if you see it leaking. you will notice it if you clean it well it will have a moist look to it all if its still leaking.
