Oil leak - valve cover gaskets - keep checking oil dipstick until repair?
What is your question?
Evidence of oil blowback, not noticed for quite awhile. Suspected oil leak, both valve cover gaskets. Repair shop advised to keep checking oil dipstick, adding oil, until I can afford repair. Is this sufficient for the time being, to prevent total engine fail. Also, what else might be found when valve cover is removed?

Keep an eye on your oil level. As long as you keep it topped off you should be fine.
