If I haven't removed it recently could it still be the problem?

if you did elbows you took the alt and bracket off. if you busted the cover you'll see it asap. just look down at the end where the alt bracket is 1/2 inch away from it.

or the valve cover gasket is leaking really bad. if you take a clean rag and drag it under the bottom of the lip and it comes up coated in oil. thats the gasket leaking.
