Try first the cam position sensor gasket if the leak looks like coming from front left cover of Your cam cover casket. It usually is the cam position sensor and not the cam cover casket. At 20k change the engine oil + filter, clean air filters, check valve clearances, grease rear suspension joints, change front fork oils. And if not done change the brakefluids. Also checking throttle body sync and TPS-position would be wise. Plus all other normal wear items (tires, brake bads)

If you are really ambitious..... Drop the oil pan, check and clean the screen. Then pull the oil pump rotor, inspect for knicks and replace if nessessary. Use some Lithium grease on the lobes when re-installing the rotor.
