Default Push rod or tapet cover? Oil leak

I've got oil leaking on the back push rod at the bottom (I think it's called the tapet cover) on my 05 EGC, TC88. I'm assuming there's a gasket under there. I can turn a wrench pretty good, but how difficult is it to replace it...and is that even the problem?

If its the lifter cover, the p-rods, tubes & lifters have to be removed then the cover removed to replace a gasket.
If you have adjustable p-rods...not that big of a deal if you know how to take them out & put back in.
If you have solid p-rods then the rocker box assembly has to be removed to get the p-rods out
