Valve Covers Leaking?

My car has sat longer than at any other time in it's life (at least since I've had it?) and it is leaking from the drivers side valve cover. I had the valves adjusted about a year ago, so it has not been that long since the gaskets have been replaced.

Last year I had the catalytic converter heat up so much it was red hot and baked the paint on the car. Could this have warped the valve cover and this is what is causing the leakage? I saw where Wayne suggests in 101 Projects to have the valve covers remachined flat. Anybody ever done this and has it solved leaky valve cover problems?
