What gasket is this leak from?

Since I bought my car 30000 miles ago it's leaked a quart every thousand miles. The exhaust is still clear but it looks like it could possibly be the head gasket leaking. Could anybody look at these pictures to confirm please. Also is it as easy to change as it looks because I see like 6 to 8 10 mm possibly holding it together.

With further research it would appear to be my valve cover gasket! I'm going to replace it when I wake up and get to auto zone haha

That's your valve cover gasket, judging by the pictures I'd say you have a 1zz-fe engine. I could be wrong but it's more likely you are burning this oil not leaking a 1quart every 1000 miles would look more severe than that.
Also these engine are known for burning oil.

its TRUE! if you dont see oil dropping your garage floor, well, it is burning oil. thats normal for this engine, dont worry, all engines with oil, burn oil! it's your call to reseal it or chuck it (i mean sell it now). :)

that 800 to1200$ in Toyota Canada. more than that, it has more issues. is your coolant pink still?
