    Pretty mild compared to what I have seen myself too.

    You know your LIM gaskets are bad when you have coolant puddling around your injectors.

    Do both, LIM gaskets and valve cover gaskets and might as well replace the grommets around the bolts of the valve cover as well.

    maxlife won't fix it, it has additives to swell gaskets, but doesn't work well on the new types

    Its not bad yet, I would say another year of every day driving it will be worse for sure. This is the starting stage of it.

    Until you can make repairs keep an eye on your coolant level in your coolant reservoir, but very doubtful you will be loosing THAT much as mush as it is seeping now. Once a week, pop your head under the hood and take a look.
