Leaking valve cover gasket

What is your question?

Is this a common occurrence on a Forester? And should I have my local mechanic take care of it or should I bring it to a Subaru dealership for repairs?

simple repair and yes, your local guy can do it. it is common for valve cover gaskets to fail. make sure the return holes are clear of debris not allowing oil to return to the oil pan. Roy
