Default exhaust from valve cover???

So after a weekend of installing new bassani headers and o/r x-pipe on my 97 cobra, i had finaly eliminated 95% of my exhaust leaks, there was a very small unnoticable one from somewhere i couldnt see left. Well after 3 weeks of driver my car the small leak has gotten more noticable them my spintech exhaust, and come to find out its comming from my valve cover gasket that has blow out a little bit. how would so much exhaust get into my valve covers? things im going to check and replace this weekend are: compression check, valve cover gasket, spark plug seals, and the pcv valve, all ford original. if anyone has any other ideas plz let me know.

I think you are on the right track:PVC issue or rings/cracked head - which would be revealed by your compression test.
