Oil fill cap leak

I seem to be leaking oil from my oil fill cap off the valve cover even after replacing the oil fill cap. Does it sound like I need a new valve cover?

So it's still leaking, even with the new cap? Are you sure it's from the oil cap? Maybe from the valvetronic sensor or motor seals?
