Hi, I have a Mini Cooper S 07. How can I know when I need to replace my valve cover? I see the 2 vacuum hoses with oil inside.Does the 2 hoses should be totally dry without any signal of oil? Not sure if a valve cover replace come soon or actually my car has a bad valve cover. Thank you!

See Dan's post above. Check those other items first, then make the call.

Can you post a picture? If the vacuum pipe/hose on the valve cover near the intake is leaking, it may be time to replace the hose. Do you see oil anywhere else on the valve cover?
