Default Engine Leak!!!

I just started up my 87 and let it run for a while. I noticed on the top of the drivers side valve cover, there is a bit of oil coming out of the vacuum tube. Is there a way to fix this? Is it a serious problem or would it have something to do with the fact that today was the first time I've started the car in about a month (transimssion is about to be rebuilt).

You can put alittle bit of sealant around the grommet.

You may want to pull the PCV, shake it and listen for it to rattle,that's what the hose is connected to, you don't want that puppy to get clogged up, I even clean mine occassionally with WD40.
