There is an oil leak coming somewhere from the back of the motor. It is thicker than the oil in the crankcase, I would like to know if you have any ideas as to where and what this may be from? There is also a tapping sound coming from the valve cover area when car is cold.

Could be from oil pressure switch?. Repair leak. Add good oil addative and a thicker grade oil to the engine. VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT
Hydraulic valve tappets are used. No valve adjustment is required.
