Perhaps there is a comma lodged in your cam seal.

Buy a new cam seal and valve cover gasket, pull the valve cover, replace the cam seal and valve cover gasket. Read directions for the reaplcement from the online repair manual. Will probably take a good afternoon or two to complete since it is the rear one...

Too much pressure building up possibly? Check your vent lines just in case while the IM is off.
